Your Bucket List

I know most people have a bucket list

when it comes to travel.

Some have already accomplished

their bucket list while others are

saving for it.

I know for me it would be to find

the love of my life and decide together.

I have traveled or been in 15 States.

I would love to see the other 35.

I like to visit as many national parks 

as I can. Also I love baseball so

seeing as many in those states

I love to see as well as many.

When I was twelve my family

took a trip across Canada and

eastern United States. You can

actually see one of my early 

posts about it. Most of the

places I  haven't returned to.

I would especially see Nova

Scotia.

I am sure many from other 

countries would love to visit

New York, Los Angeles, 

San Francisco or Hawaii.

I have been to New York

and San Francisco.

Here in Western Washington we 

get visitors from Asia with it

being closer.  I have mentioned

we have the mountains and ocean.

Whatever the case find a way to

travel to your bucket list in the

next five years. 

April Almost Here

It is such a surprise  that  2025 is

going along so fast. It seems  more

than 2024 did. Maybe because we 

are all older.

Here in Western Washington March

has been a wet month for the most

part. Tuesday  was the best day of 

the month being around 68 degrees

Fahrenheit. 

Wednesday  is  expected to be 

thunderstorms so not a great

day to be outside unless you 

meet tge right timing.

We do hope that April  will  be

a much better month for the

natives as well as the tourists.

May has been a good month

in recent years. In fact feeling 

like summer. Visiting Seattle 

is a good idea. Not only able to 

see good sights you can go on

good walks as well.

Washington  state has two 

mountain ranges so that is

good if that is what you want

to do. There is the Pacific 

Ocean along with plenty of

other water around.

July is always the best weather 

of the year so if you are still

planning your trip it is a good

time to come.

All depending  how much time

you have there is Vancouver 

Island in British Columbia  to

visit as well. 

Happy  travels!

Spring Is Here

It is supposed to be spring now here in 

the Pacific northwest. 

March has been a rainy month after

January  and  February  had been 

mild. It makes me enjoy the sun

when it comes out. 

Despite the rain the  temperatures  

have been good though with wind

along with low humidity  we may 

not think that way.

I suppose you think I  may not be

seeing my area for travel. The best 

months are ahead of us for sure.

Besides Seattle  our largest city

we have the waters of Puget Sound

and the San Juan Islands.

We have the ocean on the south

coast along with both the Cascades

and Olympics.  If you are a hiker

there are plenty  of places to do

so.

Currently  both have snow however

with spring it will start melting soon.

As teenager I hiked the Olympics 

often and the Cascades are good

too. There are a lot of spots to hike

short for the day or longer ones for

those who want to for several days.

Safe travels. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Travel Is the Way To Go

There are so many places

to see in this great world we

live in.

Our lives as so short that we

won't see it all however taking

the time to do so should be

refreshing. 

I know not everyone enjoys

travel however the least is

to travel in the area you live

in.

I have seen some of Washington

state however I haven't seen all

of it. Taking a day to visit a

nearby area will help.

Going on a trip to another area

of your country is good too. 

Search out the places that

interest you. Obviously you

can visit placed that are popular

is good however you might find

a gem that pleases you too.

May you be blessed wherever 

you travel.

The Raining Season

This year March is  having a raining

month here in Western Washington. 

Not easy  on the locals. 

Many of the locals are in Arizona 

or Hawaii. Those who are baseball 

fans are likely  in Arizona  for spring

training.  If you are a baseball  fan 

then Arizona  so a good spot to visit. 

I think it is too hot in the summer.

Coming up next week  will be the

college men's  and  women's 

basketball  tournament.

Seattle  is  going to be one of the

spots for the first two rounds.

The regional finals are going to

be in San Francisco,  Newark 

New Jersey  to name a couple. 

The men's final four will be in

San Antonio,  Texas while Tampa 

Florida will hold the women's 

final four.

So in Seattle  we will see some

fans who will come into town

to see their college play. The

arena is in the Seattle  Center

with the famous Space Needle

nearby. 

So March is a busy month

however a visit here will be

seeing some rain. Hope to

see the sun come out 

sometimes. 

Wherever  you  travel  put

the Seattle Washington  to do

list in July anyway.  It is the

best weather of the year.

In most recent years May

has been a good time to

come. So many places to

see.

Thanks for checking  here.

Be safe. 

March 4

Have you ever thought  what this 

day means when you say it.

When my cousin  Peggy's daughter 

Erin got married  it happened on

this day. On the wedding invitation 

it said that the day is a commandment.

So you say March fourth than you

are actually  doing it. This certainly 

has been in my mind to remember 

each year. It is funny to I think.

I have heard some believe we are 

in springtime.  I heard one lady

friend it is spring even if is snowing. 

So have you made your travel plans 

yet for the year or on holding pattern 

right now.

For those here in Western Washington 

they started by going to Hawaii or

Arizona to get out of the cold.

I find it interesting  the temperatures 

in the 30s feels colder than when I 

was in Ottawa and Gatineau  at

Christmas time though the temperatures 

there was a lot colder. The conclusion 

we have low humidity and it is more

windy here too.

So if you are traveling this month have

yourself a good time. Whether the

temperatures  are cold or warm have

a positive  attitude. 

My thought came we should think

we are on vacation  whether we are

or not. May your March be well 

and go forward. 

Coming Up March

February  we got our first snow for

the winter here in Western Washington.

Where I live wasn't  a whole lot though

the trees were certainly  looked great

on them. We are a bit  shield from 

snow then some of the places nearby. 

North and east  of  Seattle  had some 

good amount of snow.

Remember  I went to Ottawa and

Gatineau  for Christmas  and  New 

Year's.  They got a good amount

of snow and so did Montreal. 

Montreal  had over two feet in

72 hours a couple of  weeks 

ago. It actually  was a record

snow fall for Montreal.

My nephew  Ken  who lives

outside of Montreal said it

was like landing a mountain 

right inside the city.

Here our mountains are getting 

some good  snowfall. There

is several  good places to

ski if you are  into that or

snowboarding. 

March means we are closer 

to spring. Our clock will move

ahead in March. 

Whether you want snow or

have sun may you have a

wonderful time traveling.
