Summer Trip #3 | Washington

by 10 Comments

My trip up north was the greatest! And such a nice time to have my new camera handy.

We spent most of the week in the yurt and in my aunt and uncle’s 400 square-foot house. A few times, we went out to town or to visit other family, and we managed to fit in two showers (yay). 

I finally read the second half of East of Eden. Timshel! And I started a new book, Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer. It was in the pile of books my aunt was giving away, and come to find out, it addresses my biggest ambiguities and stresses in eating meat. I’m not a vegetarian. I am a “sometimes vegetarian.” And I want to sort through that. I also realized I’m the kind of person who impulsively buys books and never reads them. What, who does that?! Yeah, I think everyone does. I’m excited to get through my stack of unread books :)

Some other magical things happened up there in the woods. First, there were a lot of puppies. Well, two puppies and a beautiful lab/greyhound named Sadie who I love and adore. When I was little, I changed my name to Sadie and wrote it on every school paper. My classmates would yell at my teacher and say, “Her name isn’t Jennifer, it’s SADIE!!!” Awesome. So, that’s one reason why I love this dog. 

 

Magical moment #2: We slept in the yurt and had a few dance parties to salsa, reggae, and gypsy punk (which is crazy). Also, my cousins Zendryn and Zeydriel are really fun and adorable.

Magical moment #3: Realizing more and more how much I love my camera. I didn’t edit these three photos because they turned out so clear and colorful. Yay! 

Magical moment #4: Our second layover in Portland. This one was delayed a few hours, but we still didn’t have enough time to go explore the town or anything. I felt so, so happy. I get this ridiculously whimsical feeling in Portland, and I know that I’ll have to move there eventually. But there’s rain. And it’s far away… I have excuses. This time, my mom suddenly saw the light and realized all of the reason why I should move up there! We had some dinner and wine and talked about the future and all of its possibilities. Portland isn’t too far away. It’s the most beautiful city, ever. And it is the location of all of my hopes and dreams! I’ll go back up to visit again soon and hang out in the rainy weather before I decide anything :) It would be a year or two. But anyway.

I’m so rambley! Forgive me. I’m just excited about life, and stuff. Today, I’m making products and accomplishing goals. Tomorrow, farmer’s market. Sunday, Renegade Craft Fair. I’ll be blogging about it all :)

  3. I’m glad you’re feeling less confused about life :) I think it’s about time for me to go on a quiet little trip as well. Looks like you had a lovely time, and the yurt is so interesting!
