We've been in Seattle for 2 full days. I have to remind myself that I don't have to pack up all of our groceries and clothes and stuff them into the Prius tomorrow morning. It's nice to stay somewhere for more than 2 days. While I do enjoy traveling--particularly avoiding tourist attractions, favoring bookstores and… Continue reading Fog
