Vicky and I took the long way into Washington… which,
granted, was a terrible mistake and the less said about that the better.
We stayed with Vic’s friend, Jenn, in Redmond and, after all
that driving, pretty much just stayed put.
Mind you, I got a little jogging in. Jenn lives enviously
close to the Sammamish River and someone put a lovely, little trail alongsideof it for jogging (and a million other things, apparently). It’s like the Santa
Ana River Trail but… greener… nicer… better… the bastards…
Fortunately, we were able to fit in a little family time,
too. My brother, Richard, and his wife, Teri, welcomed us in their home and
their cute, little tornado, Hayden, burned enough energy to light a small town…
for a decade. That was fun.
Then, of course, we had a day to ourselves and I made the
terrible mistake of suggesting the Snoqualmie Falls. Mind you, there’s nothing
inherently wrong with the Snoqualmie Falls (except the fact that they had
closed down the trail to the bottom – way to go, guys!) but to get there we had
to drive through Fall City.
… where I was once married…
I don’t know if Vicky was being kind or evil when she
suggested we have breakfast there. I mean, I was doing everything I could to
ignore the significance of the place and Vicky was like, “Hey, this is nice!
Let’s have breakfast!”
… ugh.
Fortunately, we went to…
Best breakfast of the entire trip. No kidding. Vicky’s crab
benedict was amazing and I had a Strawberry Stuffed French Toast that, well, it’s
all I can remember. I’m still stupefied by how good it was.
Washington was pretty nice. Last time I was there, all I
could see was my ex. This time, it just had to be my dad. He was everywhere and
I missed him terribly.
And that’s it.
Of course, before we left Vicky and I had to get into a
fight that… let’s just say I should be out of the hospital soon.
And then, we went to Oregon.
