She's apparently got a freezer full of venison, brought home by her husband. And I know nothing about Casper or Wyoming, so this has all the makings of the most adventurous trip yet.
Doesn't that just sound luxurious? Every night, a new vineyard. And maybe a tour by bike, so we can earn all the rich meals we pair with our bottles of wine.
It's another country, so why not?
Melizza and I met in college; we were roommates for a year in Roanoke. Now we see each other about once a year. It's crazy to think we've gotten to that point in life, but we have.
I've visited twice ... once when she moved there (we drove with Ludo; it was an adventure), and once last year. But I haven't gone with Patrick yet, and I haven't visited for long enough to get a really great sense of the town.

Seattle has been my favorite city since I first visited at 12, when I'd earned good enough grades in eighth grade to be sent off for two weeks to visit my uncle and aunt all the way on the West Coast.

Ever see "Goonies"? Remember the two rocks the kids match with holes in an old medallion when they first strike out on their adventure? Those rocks are on the shore at Cannon Beach, just an hour or so from Portland. And they are amazing to see up close.
Cannon Beach itself is a quaint vacation town. We had a great lunch at a small fish shop in the main part of town.
I can imagine a long weekend relaxing, walking along the beach, eating from a fresh catch.
