Back from Seattle

Deception Pass Bridge, Northern Washington State

After almost a two week stay in Seattle I am back home in Tulsa. As usual whenever I leave for a little while I spend a few days just getting caught up with the business and the home.  Between the jet lag, Frontier Airlines losing my luggage and a hasty upgrade to Windows Vista on my computer I have been swamped! Thankfully after a lot of hustle and some readjustment of my sleeping schedule back to central time I am back to my normal day to day routine.

I had a blast in Washington State and Seattle.  I spent the last half of my trip in the north most part of the state hiking in the evergreen forest and walking down the cold rocky beaches. Being land locked in Oklahoma for so long seeing the massiveness of the ocean was both overwhelming and refreshing. The fresh spruce smell of the forest, the carpet like feeling of the trails and the feeling of ocean breeze on my face was simply incredible.

I only spent a couple of days in Seattle proper; my goal was a commune with nature.  I needed to put behind me the stress of everyday life and the hustle that goes with running a business. To go on a hike with me through the Washington State Forest and a look at the coast head over to my flickr.com site to see the photos. I think you will find them as breathtaking as what I experienced during my little escape.

I do miss my Pacific Ocean (I'm a native Californian) and I do miss my Rocky Mountains (I lived in Denver before I moved to Stillwater). I'm used to a "big event" sitting there in the west. Here, the closest thing I have to a "big event" in that direction is my flower bed of Morning Glories.

Sigh.

Glad you have a great time!
