Road Trip to Seattle

Last weekend was epic. That's right. I said "epic", perhaps for the first time on this blog.

Around midday last Friday, 3 friends and I headed north to Seattle to see our favorite band The Head and the Heart. This band has a great sound, thought-provoking lyrics and an energetic stage presence but more importantly, they also give me an overwhelming sense of joy when I listen to them play live and get to sing along. Also, as luck would have it, my friends and I even ended up on stage with them for one of their songs. It was amazing!

After the concert we spent the night in Seattle and awoke on Saturday to continue our road trip via ferry to the Olympic Peninsula. The drive through the Olympic National Forest was beautiful and our night spent at a cabin in Forks, WA standing by a fire, hottubbing and playing games was a nice night of living the simple life. We even had time to stop at a beach on our way home on Sunday.

I was sad to see the weekend end but am happy that these people are in my life and we have many adventures such as this one ahead.
