Sunshine?





We just got back from Seattle where we attended a Williams Family Reunion. And of course it was the funnest time ever and we did not sleep and we saw many many things and did many many things had long visits with family, and drove all night to get home....that is not really the reason I am writing.
I have always been a fan of the North West. I have always believed it would be fun to live there and have often looked into moving up North. Seattle is a city that I have always enjoyed and romanticised it a bit of being a "city Dweller". So many of you have read Kelly's blog about how much he HATES Idaho and how he cannot believe we live in this WINDY area. Now don't get me wrong any of you Washington residents! It is Beautiful and it is very green and it does offer more that you can ever imagine.
It is too darn cold for me! After our Really long winter and a rainy spring many of us were so thankful for warm weather and sunshine. I just cannot imagine having rain most of the time and having it be cold in July. I carried a jacket with me most of the time and had it on about 50% of the time. It did make me a little crazy that is takes sooo long to get anywhere! I have always wanted to live in a big city or near a big city. So now I have learned I do have to appreciate the fact that I can make it from one side of Idaho Falls to the other side in about ten minutes and I can hit all the major department stores in just a few hours. Now don't get me wrong Idaho Falls and rural living has it draw backs! but I wont dwell on those right now. HOME SWEET HOME!

Did you go to Pike's Peak Market?
In Burley it takes about 10 minutes to get from one side of town to the other on your bike!

I love Seattle, to visit, but i'm always glad to come home to a little more peace and quiet. Glad you guys had fun. I was trying really hard to get Jake up there, but obviously it didn't work :D.

I'm jealous. I really wanted to go to Washington this year for the family reunion. I love it up there. Seattle has been one of my favorite big cities since you guys took me up there to visit family.

I'm glad you guys had a great time. It's funny you say that about Idaho. Traveling always helps me to look at things in a different perspective and a lot of the times helps me appreciate things I took for grant it.

I have to agree with you on the weather, it was so iffy up there. It was kinda nice to have a little break from our hot hot weather though, thanks for letting us tag along, we had such a fun time!

Sounds like Seattle was fun. There's nothing like a vacation to help you realize that there actually are benefits to living in Idaho!

I know what you mean about the cold weather. Its the same here in Oregon, its crazy. Some places we go to vacation I think it would be fun to move there, but not here. Its freezing! You'll have to let us know what else you did
