vacation's all i ever wanted

We didn’t have to get away, but we did. After four weekends out-of-town, it’s good to be home on a Saturday–cleaning, picking up veggies, enjoying an end-of-summer kind of day. With or without the academic calendar, September will always be the back-to-school month. The same sense of anticipation; the same urge to start over.

Oregon, Washington, and Vancouver, B.C. were all new places for us. The trip was a whirlwind of driving up mountains and down coasts, exploring city streets block by block … the kind of trip that leaves you mentally refreshed but physically exhausted. Conclusion: the Pacific Northwest is full of dramatic landscapes, walkable cities, and really good food.
