Stepping off the airplane and into a wall of green was almost shocking, considering the scenery just prior was the brown barren desert of the valley of the sun. After a drive to the airport accessorized by all varieties of prickly vegetation, the first hour in Seattle was spent in wonder, marveling at the giant trees which have been left seemingly undisturbed despite the city rising up among them. The second hour was spent in a (slight) state of claustrophobia as we drove into the hills and the green seemed to overwhelm everything, the sunlight, the air and especially me. But then, oh then, a little valley opened up and the sun was shining, and there was green everywhere you looked, and the hills rolled into mountains seamlessly, and everything was alive and I rolled down the window and the air was cool and clean and felt fresh in my lungs. The sun shone down in magical little patches through the leaves creating shadows and light that danced with the breeze. And I fell in love with the Pacific Northwest.
What are you in WA for? That’s where I’m from: )
YAH for washington. I understand about the green. I’m from here and when I visit other places it’s just not the same. I think that’ll be the only thing I miss when we move in December. I’m glad you’re enjoying it.
You look gorgeous as usual! Isn’t Seattle amazing???
Well now I want to go there! It sounds like Missouri…the trees are almost suffocating! Adorable outfit btw. Ah. dor. ah. ble. Love the skit.
Welcome to the Pac NW, so glad you are here. I have not been on blogspot for a week and finally came back on and saw the picture of you with GREEN in the back..i was so confused it looked too familiar. :) I live in a little town outside Portland OR. and you will love the feeling, the Summers and Fall’s the amazing stuff to do around here! have a blast.
Love the outfit, as usual…enjoy Seattle. It’s beautiful there!
my husband & i went to college on the coast of oregon & spent a lot of time in washington, too. it’s just a magical place. make sure to take your kids on lots of wild hikes through the woods–you feel like a hobbit among all the massive trees and ferns and moss! if you ever venture down the coast, cannon beach oregon (and haystack rock) is a gorgeous, quaint little beach town with fantastic shops and restaurants. definitely worth a weekend trip if you’re able!
