Parrish's Pacific Northwest Adventure

My daughter, Parrish just returned from a trip to the Pacific Northwest to visit her boyfriend, Hunter and his family. This was her second trip to the area, but her first was confined to Seattle and Gig Harbor. This time, she was in Bellingham, Vancouver, Victoria, and Friday Harbor. She absolutely loved it, even thought she wasn't prepared for the drastically cooler temperatures. Spending her school year in Honolulu, and her vacations in Nashville did not prepare her for 60-something temperatures in July! Here at home, temps were well into the 90's, with suffocating humidity. She spend most of her time in Washington wearing her Ugg boots and shivering. So much for all those cute little sun dresses she packed even though I warned her she would be cold...

Now personally, I would totally dig those summer temps in the PNW! So NOT a fan of our heat and humidity here in the south...

Two of the many things Parrish and Hunter enjoy together are the zoo and the aquarium. Hunter is majoring in Zoology and Marine Biology at the University of Hawaii. Parrish had considered Marine Biology briefly, then switched to sports medicine. But while they were in Vancouver, they really enjoyed the Aquarium there. Parrish especially loves jelly fish...

Since my girl is conked out recovering from having four impacted Wisdom teeth removed this morning, I thought I would share some of her photos from her trip with all of you...
