I kept trying to pick out the Blue Ridge Parkway. I wasn’t able to.

My husband has officially announced that it is the West coast for us when he retires. Doesn’t matter where~my childhood was spent from Sacramento to Tacoma and Spokane, with several points in between. Love it all! So we’ll get there~just a few more years here in the middle.
