San Juan Islands

This was the most beautiful place and the best time I ever had. My husband and I enjoyed it to the core. I cannot explain it in words. Some one has to experience it. The beauty is beyond our reach but not out of our sight. What a beauty!

 One can know the in and out of that place with in no time. Everything is just around you.

Initially we thought of renting a room in a well know Hotel than a Local one, but we changed our mind once we landed in San Juan. With Spectacular and Awesome views we could not afford to miss it even one night, during our sleep at least we wanted to feel that we are surrounded by that timeless beauty and nature.

We rented a local hotel Bird Rock. The receptionist was very convivial. We had the last one that is only left as it was a busy weekend. It was a nice room and has a cozy feel to it. The room size is apt for us. Just right and enough. A 5 minute walk from our room you can have the spectacular view of Friday harbor, with small boats and incoming and out going traffic of the Ferry.

After refreshing, we took a small stroll around to know about the location. It felt like a small village with lots of culture significant every where. The local  Boutiques, Jewelry shops, dining, special burgers, ice creams what not, you can have it all. I bought an Ice cream and we headed towards the harbor simply to sit and stare at the beautiful sky ( looked like a Zebra except with Blue and Orange stripes which are scattered all over)while the sun taking its day off . As the sun had its sleep, we too tucked ourselves under our bed sheets saying adieu to the moon.

That was a very nice birthday surprise.

Seattle Aquarium - Not Worth

I always wanted to have fish as my pet. Being an Animal lover, I had not great but good expectations on our local seattle aquarium. The moment I entered the Aquarium I knew it is not going to be the way I expected. But this being my first time to an Aquarium it did grab my attention for a while. Especially my experience with touching star fish with bare hands, awww the feeling is not good, at least for me.

All together the feeling was okay, but not at a cost of $19.00. It could have been much lesser.

Seattle - My New Home

Ever since I came to Seattle, I have forgotten that I used to see Sun.Our day starts and ends with rain. Any day will be covered with dark clouds leaving  no space for the sun to flash on your eyes nor chance for the rays to caress you.  

The night will be covered with even more clouds and with an added disadvantage of disappointment and lack of interest,  you wont come out of the house and you miss the Moon as well. Sun will visit us without an appointment and by the time we realize this he will be gone.

But Seattle has more greenery than any other place. It is a hilly area where we can see clouds flying next to us and rain drizzles kissing our cheeks. It has a cool, fresh and clean breeze which makes us feel rejuvenated.

Long walks, drives and the 360 degree scenic views are the best part of it. May it be through a window in the house, a small walk in a park or to a near by Starbucks coffee  you will not miss the view of trees, small snow cap  mountains or even the most beautiful mount rainier If not all but will have the privilege of at least one of them;

With all the weather and ambiance, the place will treat you as you have come  for a vacation all year long.
