Northwest Vacation

I've spent the last 10 days up in Washington, enjoying some vacation time with family, exploring the beautiful Northwest. It started with a weekend in downtown Seattle for my cousin Kevin and his wife Shannon's wedding, followed by a Kudela family day in Everett, a day on the water in Indianola with Aunt Marcia and Uncle Mike, and a week in Tacoma with my sister and her family. I've gone on lots of runs down tree-lined streets, watched the rain from the porch, eaten delicious seafood, drank good coffee, read some books, went antiquing, had several beach-combing adventures finding sea glass, sand dollars and striped rocks, and spent days playing with my little nephew Max. It's been so relaxing, and good to get out of my normal element for a bit - I am leaving feeling very refreshed and inspired.
