Northern Exposure


It's March 5th and spring has officially sprung here in the state of Washington. Everything is blooming and the temperature is nearing 60 today. So Jeff and I piled on the layers, jumped on the motorcycle and rode straight out of town. We drove over the pass and saw some of the last skiers taking advantage of the sun and snow. We headed out to Roslyn Washington, for no particular reason other than it's a nice drive. While we were there I got a picture in front of the famous Roslyn cafe. For those of you who don't know. There was a popular show in the 90's called Northern Exposure, the show was supposed to be set in Alaska but they filmed it in Roslyn Washington. After snapping a quick picture we stopped for lunch and headed back home. The drive home was a lot nicer. I actually didn't get numb on the way home just thoroughly chilled even with my many layers.

I am anxiously awaiting spring's arrival here. We get a glimpse and then we wake up to almost a foot of snow again. I am glad you are taking advantage of it!
