Washington

So once again, I am off to Washington, this time with my lovely boyfriend, eddie, chelsea and my father. I truly love Washington's majestic beauty. When there, I get a sense of what life might have been like a hundred years ago when people lived off the land and respected it, and American Indians were beginning to integrate with white Americans; it seems as if that's still happening to this day.

Being from Los Angeles, Washington isn't really a must see destination to the majority of people who live here. I'm guilty of this myself, but once I went there and experienced it, my soul had found its niche. As a cultured lady (-_-) and my father's daughter, I think it necessary to learn as much as one can about a place and its history so i've decided to post some interesting facts about Washington State, enjoy.
