Happy Friday! A week ago, M, K and I piled into our intrepid car and drove an hour and a half east to Central Washington. Destination: Roslyn, WA<\/a>. A former coal mining town, it became a surprising tourist draw when the 90s hit show Northern Exposure<\/a> was filmed there. They even have a Northern Exposure festival every year.<\/p>\n

This was a big deal for us because we really don’t take very many vacations.<\/p>\n

\"roslyn3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We stayed in a most charming Bed and Breakfast called The Huckleberry House<\/a>. M and I used to drive up to Roslyn from time to time pre-K. Sadly, the owners are thinking of closing the business, so we feel lucky that we squeezed in before the closure. Temperatures were hot but not scorching and we biked, swam and read books:<\/p>\n

\"roslyn4\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It was a little magical — maybe even more than a little. We slept in a king-sized bed all together, squished like polar bears<\/a>. We had lots of coffee shop breaks, because that’s what we do. When we went to rent bikes, the store owner didn’t have a small enough bike for K, so he called upon the towns folk, and several people rallied and rustled up a battered pink two-wheeler. Community spirit, it’s still alive. We got lost on a gravel trail while searching for the way to the river, then cut across farmland and got lost again. We never found the river, but ate trail mix near the Suncadia resort. On our way out of town, we meandered through the Farmer’s market and I got a bag of my favorite Rainier cherries.<\/p>\n

We have no travel plans this weekend, and it took me all this while to unpack the small amount of luggage we took with us last week. I’m enjoying memory bursts from our little getaway as I store toiletries back into the closet, fold laundry, place the books we read on our shelf.<\/span><\/p>\n

***************************************************<\/p>\n

K could not<\/em> get enough of skateboard camp this week – I’m shocked! She skated for almost 6 hours per day! We promised her very own skateboard if she still liked it at the end of the week, so we’re off to go shopping.<\/p>\n

Mama, I want the kind of wheels that glow in the dark. Or wait, maybe the ones that make cool sounds. I hear they’re only two or three dollars.<\/em><\/p>\n

I wish. I had no idea that there were all these specialized wheels<\/a>…it’s a whole new world.<\/p>\n

***************************************************<\/p>\n

Have a delightful weekend, friends! I plan to sew and sew and sew…<\/p>\n

Another trip planned<\/em>
\nWe will head out to Indy*<\/em>
\nMust sew summer garb<\/em><\/p>\n

*M was able to get a week off from work, so we’ll be visiting family in the midwest in a couple of weeks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
