5 Favorite Memories of Yellowstone National Park

August 8, 2013 by Marsha S.

I can't even begin to accurately describe the experience of visiting Yellowstone National Park for the first time. It was years ago, and I was a green solo traveler from the East Coast who was inexperienced with nature on such a grand scale. The sensations you experience in Yellowstone tend to extremes: Excitement. Fear. Awe. Wonder. The landscape is just so big and beautiful … [Read more...] about 5 Favorite Memories of Yellowstone National Park

Discovering Devils Tower National Monument, Wyoming

August 6, 2013 by Marsha S.

It's a loose analogy but I think it works: if northeastern Wyoming is like a set of washboard abs, then Devils Tower National Monument is like an outie bellybutton. There. I've said it. Analogies are useful when trying to describe something that defies description, and Devils Tower is certainly that.

In and Around Manchester, Vermont: 4 (More) Things to Love

July 23, 2013 by Marsha S.

When I’d just moved to the Seattle area, I lived like an itinerant preacher--welp, minus the preachin’. I spent six weeks just north of the city in Edmonds and another week south of the city in the Georgetown neighborhood but I have to say my favorite stint was the five days I spent in Bremerton, west of Seattle and accessible by a 55-minute ferry. After five days walking and … [Read more...] about The Best of Bremerton, Washington

Chihuly Garden and Glass: A Clear Seattle Favorite

May 16, 2013 by Marsha S.

Opened in May 2012, Chihuly Garden and Glass is already a top tourist attraction, quickly eclipsing its more established neighbors like the iconic Space Needle as one of the most highly recommended things to do in Seattle. I’m no art critic--I simply know what I like--so believe me when I tell you this blown glass art exhibition blew me away (pun intended). … [Read more...] about Chihuly Garden and Glass: A Clear Seattle Favorite
