Trippin’
I was going through my closet the other day and found about 15,000 purses, wallets, backpacks and overnight bags. Why do I accumulate so many? I don’t go to nearly enough places in nearly enough outfits to accommodate my bag collection. I’m getting really anxious, though, about our trip next month. I started sorting through all my stuff, trying to figure out what I’m going to bring. We’re going to be doing lots of different things: a ferry ride, the Space Needle, Pike Place (of course), and I want to try and get one of my family members to babysit the kids so Jason and I can go out to a nice dinner. It’s so beautiful up there, too, and I’m definitely an ‘outdoorsy’ type, so maybe we’ll end up going hiking or biking or something like that. We’re there for a week…it’s possible.
Anyway, my brother is a sports/outdoors columnist, so I know he’ll be able to point us in the right direction. He’s always going on some excursion or another up in the Pacific Northwest. The last time I was in the area was five years ago. I remember it being windy, but sunny. Hopefully it won’t rain. This is going to be our only summer vacation (besides the occasional camping trip), so I want it to be perfect. And Squid has never really been on a vacation at all. He’s only gone away with us for the weekend in the past. Oh, I can’t wait!
