I would like to visit here this summer, to hike along the coastline and get pictures of the incredible rock formations.

The Chittenden or “Ballard Locks”. My dad worked on the reconstruction of these back in the.. what.. early 90s? Alot of bird poop.. but the fish ladder is worth the visit! I have never seen so many fish, nor have I seen any so big!

Views of the NW coastline. It’s spectacular. I hope to visit this summer. Interesting fact: It is the most Northwestern point in the continental United States.

Port Townsend is an old town with many beautiful homes. Fort Warden has some fantastic views of the ocean.. and the lighthouse makes for some great pictures. Beautiful area.

I would like to go simply to say that.. I have been to Vegas. I mean, I live in America! Everyone’s been to Vegas atleast once!

While memorable, I suppose, watching the sunrise on Haleakala was not that spectacular to me. (Although, it may be simply that I was 12 and thought sleeping in would have been a better idea.) The drive down the mountain was beautiful though.. and we enjoyed the shots over the island we got from up there.

Bring a coat though, if you do travel up Haleakala for the sunrise. It is freezing before the sun comes up!

It’s Vanderbilt’s mansion, of course I want to see it. Looks beautiful. And I’m so envious of the gardens!

totally sold me on Prince Edward Island. Red roads, sandy and grassy beaches, large oceanscapes, rolling green hills… So beautiful. I particularly want to see Cavendish Beach. (I had a photo of it on my desktop for all of last quarter)

But man alive, if there are too many houses now.. I’ll cross it off my list.

A gorgeous spot.. a must-see for WA natives particularly.
