Living somewhere between Dulles Airport and the Pentagon. We see our share of aircraft. Strangely enough, the number of helicopters might be concerning for someone who’s seen enough conspiracy theory movies. (Not to say I have.) One hovering over your home for a good hour can rattle the nerves. The time. Allowed me the opportunity to change my Canon 28 – 105 to a 100 – 400. Giving me the ability to document the moment. With the cuurent political atmosphere being what it is. The idea of the secret police coming to take you away, Is not as outlandish a thought as it once seemed. Be safe. Stay safe.

My wife loved the hand crafted furniture store as well as the crowded arts and crafts shop housed within the historic building. From there we continued to navigate the icy, snowplowed streets and sidewalks. I enjoyed the long exchange with the town drunk a little more than my wife did. Though I was somewhat surprised when she reached out to button up his flannel and zip up his jacket. The 28 degree cold didn’t seem to bother him much. With just a few blocks in us. My wife’s chills turned to shivers and we retreated Basecamp Books and Bites for some hot tea, pastry and a game of Jenga. It wasn’t long after that when we retreated to our warm Mini and headed back to Seattle. And while the rather harsh weather we’ve been experiencing hasn’t put much of a damper on our travels or adventures. We can’t help but dream of warmer, dryer days to come.I was thinking of posting links to some of the places that highlighted our trip. Instead I’ll leave you with a trip advisor that links some of the city’s highlights.
