Washington Weekend Adventure: Land-Water-Air

Friends in the Midwest claim it’s freezing this summer. An annoying segment of Seattleites claim it’s “too hot” for summer. I find it rather humorous. Really humorous actually. When it’s 90 degrees and sunny here, it’s amazing. Unreal in fact. I’ve lived West. I’ve lived South. I’ve lived East. I’ve lived in the Midwest. Let no one deceive you. When this place is sunny and “hot” it’s pretty much the most amazing place on earth. Fact. I’ll argue that to the grave.

And so my fellow PNW adventure-goers and I embrace…

FRIDAY

A bike up the Burke Gilman…because it stays light until 9pm in these parts during the summer. Boom.
