Scenes from our last day in DC yesterday, meandering around, off the beaten path. So happy to have found ourselves at @boldforkbooks, knew of it but hadn't realized we were in its neighborhood. And another lovely sunset to send us off, having been greeted by one a week before. All went so very well. I have long appreciated travel, now with much greater appreciation after a stretch staying home. #travel
Almost 10 miles walking around town yesterday. Skipped the Mall and museums, neighborhood exploring instead. Georgetown waterfront and canal, wove along random streets roughly Dupont Circle area, light dinner at Pearl Dive Oyster Bar, and a little walking dessert to enjoy on the way back to the hotel. Could have taken dozens more photos but got in a zone of just enjoying all the sights in the moment. Such a visually stimulating city with all the diverse architecture, the art, parks, monuments, history all around….. #travel #exploring #walking
Just a handful among many highlights of a couple fun days in Virginia. Pumpkins, corn maze, local beer, cooking together, most importantly spending time with family. Off to DC tomorrow for a few more days. Perfect fall weather, couldn't be better. #travel #familytime #sohappy #fallvibes #pumpkins
The complete harvest of apples this year from patio espalier. I'm pretty sure these are Spartan. Small but so flavorful & juicy. That poor tree likely needs some more attention. If not a move. #apples #eatwhatyougrow #patiogarden #harvesttime #autumnflavors
We're known for our evergreens around here but we do get a pretty vivid display of fall colors too. My walking pal patiently waited at my frequent stops for another pic yesterday. Just gorgeous. #walking #color #fallcolors #fallvibes #westseattle #lifeinseattle
Just a handful among many highlights from a couple fabulous days with a dear friend. Includes a drive through the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum (the "Arb", to its friends) and visit to nearby Apple House showcasing varietal work done by Univ of Minnesota (too late in season for First Kiss, we picked up Sweet Tango). Oh, and pizza night, my first with Roccbox. Squash-blue cheese-walnut my fave. Thanks for every little thing @meredithdeeds. #travel #greatfriends #lifeissostinkinfun
