After a more than full and fun end of December, the photographer, Garbo and I loaded our "pic and pack" in to the car, taking off for an adventure to north west Washington State.

We were going to take a breather, loaf around, and do some sight seeing in the area.

| Portland, Oregon |
A house had been rented for a few days. Hot tub included… a good place for the traditional year end bath for a true Viking. No, let me take that back. They did not have hot tubs. Not as we know them anyway.

Garbo the Super Travel Trouper was a good girl, for the most part! Guess any trip shorter than from Sweden to the States is a "shortie" to her. She snuggles into her back seat sling and for the most part we did not know she was back there. She liked the hotel stays too! Those beds are BIG and oh so comfy!

| Poulsbo |
The scenery both on the way, with the exception of the boring flat part of northern California, as well as up there on the majestic Olympic Peninsula is truly beautiful! One gorgeous Mountain or mountain range after another, starting with Mount Shasta.
We enjoyed some ocean views, some bird sanctuaries, walked in a few wilderness parks, visited Poulsbo, a very charming old Norwegian town, did some shopping and of course made a few visits to dog parks. What else might one wish for.

| Glad to be back home. |
We drank champagne, ringing in the New Year, had good food and enjoyed our time away from home. The best part was returning home of course. It is a delight to see how glad Mister Cat is to have Garbo back home and vice versa.
