Personal growth is hard when you leave no room (time) for it.


The sad state of the #Washington State Ferries discourages me from crossing Puget Sound. :(



When @clover and I went to Lake Quinault over the past week, we came across a really strange local station at 90.5 MHz FM. Anyone know anything about it? #Seattle #Washington #WashingtonState



This detour that #WSDOT had yesterday (still can't find anything posted about it online) was quite a tour! #Seattle #Washington #WashingtonState

I used to think my #Triumph Bonneville T120 was slow, but recent rides like yesterday's to #Lake #Chelan taught me that all I had to do to make it fast was use more of the engine's rev range and engage my core when cornering. It's so much fun now! (8 photos here. More from yesterday's ride to come.) #motorcycle #photography #photog #photos #Washington #WashingtonState

The day after my Roslyn trip, I really wanted to get another ride in to make the most of my four day weekend, so I headed over Stevens Pass to #Leavenworth, which was filled with lots of both new and familiar sights. Just like when my partner and I visited Leavenworth by train together a few years back, the scenery of the Tumwater Canyon really captured my imagination!

One of the reasons why I got into #motorcycle riding was to have an easier time getting to places like Eastern Washington. #Roslyn, #Washington was on my list of places to see, and it didn't disappoint! (Blog Post, Album (202 photos), 16 photos attached) #photography #photog #photos #photo

Our return home featured not only a very long ferry ride, but also @clover 's first time driving in snow! Things went pretty smoothly the whole way home, nonetheless, as we stopped by the towns of #Anacortes and #LaConner. We also made a quick stop at the Seattle Premium Outlets in Marysville so @clover could look at shoes. (Album)

Finally got around to tagging and uploading all of the photos from the trip to the San Juan islands that @clover and I went on back in February. #photography #photog #photos #photo #Washington #WashingtonState #PugetSound #SanJuanIslands

Our last full day in the islands was on Lopez, which was by far the quietest one. Not only did we see few cars on the road, we only found a few restaurants even open! The beautiful island scenery certainly made up for the lack of food options. Our dinner and stay were at the Lopez Islander, which was very cozy. (Album)

Our next day was spent on Orcas Island, which gave us even more beautiful sights around Mount Constitution and Moran State Park. Even our accommodations were nice at Pebble Cove Farm, which even had farm animals roaming about! (Album)

When we showed up, I went into the main house, only to find that it was actually a private residence, and that it was being house sat by someone who was as confused as we were. I'll never forget that awkwardness…

After a rough time getting out there (it was @clover 's first long drive, after all), and a _very_long ferry ride, we had a very chill time on San Juan Island. I'd been there a couple times before over my life, but it had been yeears. We spent a lot of time around Friday Harbor, but also checked out South Beach, as well as the scenery along the way.

One of the goals I had in mind than pushed me into #motorcycle riding was easier access to Eastern #Washington roads. (I don't have as much time as I used to for doing that by bicycle.) This ride marks my first time doing so, and it was definitely worth it! I was treated to sunny weather and pine trees, which were exactly what I needed after all of the rainy days around #Seattle over the past few months. Really makes me want to move to Eastern Washington!
