I remember when we all lived in Maryland, and Kim went back to visit Sequim. She called us from there asking if there was anything we wanted. "Lavender!!" I said. Lavender she got-- a whole POUND of lavender straight from the farm. I made a lot of lavender eye pillows that year! (Truth be told, I still have some of that lavender left.) It was only fitting that we go visit a farm together and soak in all the relaxing properties of fresh lavender. It was one of my favorite--most relaxing-- moments (ok, I did have a lot of favorite moments this trip, but that's a good thing, right?!). Oh, how I love the lavender farms......
He must have been the farm mascot..... |
After the lavender farm and our lunch at the Oak Table, Kim took us to the Railroad Bridge Park. What a neat place. I think if we'd have had more energy and time, we could have walked and walked and walked. But, seeing as we were short on both, we just looked around and enjoyed the scenery. I could easily imagine that being my favorite exercise path if we lived there. Coming from Denver where "trees are not indigenous to the area" (really, a realtor told me that, I was dumbfounded), it was a slice of green heaven looking at all that foliage.
A final glimpse at the beauty of Washington's banana belt. (Look familiar, Kim?!) It's got a little bit of everything for everyone. I know we'll miss it all! Thanks for having us, Kim, and showing us the sights-- new and old. We're already looking forward to our next visit to your neck of the woods, whenever that may be. And if your path comes our way, head on over-- you know we'll leave the light on for ya!
Well, we're almost officially vacationed out. The only pics left to post are the ones from the four day ride home. Can you believe after 3 weeks on the road with a trailer, hubby, 2 kids, a rabbit and a cat, that I wasn't actually ready to go home?! Nope. I could have stayed doing what we'd been doing-- driving, visiting and seeing. That feeling is even more powerful when you're leaving an area you don't really want to say goodbye to. Ready for the drive back home?! Just be glad you only have to read about it and not endure it like we did. HA!
