WELP, I know what state just got added to my tentative summer road-trip itinerary, absolutely gorgeous! It looks so serene…😌

I’ve never seen a waterfall in person and I’ve been on this planet for 3 decades and I need to change that. I lost my fiancé to the virus whose name need not be mentioned coming up on 3 years, maybe that’s why this phot evokes emotion from me. Idk.

But what I’ve discovered is traveling to place some may consider mundane is a great way to continue healing in my grief journey cause it’s like if I can go to all the special places he would’ve taken me if he were still here because what made me happy was what made me happy. We had SO MUCH planned for the future.

He was so observant and insightful that it left me in awe. Knowing him he probably would’ve noticed something super simple like me screenshooting this and casually mentioning it to him and from that alone he’d book the flights and accommodations, make reservations at whatever WA dining establishment had the best lamb chops and steak cause those two foods were his happy place lol…we loved trying new eateries and odd cocktails and weird appetizers!

So I’m totally gonna do this and try my damndest to enjoy it enough for the both of us thanks to you OP!! If anyone else has any WA “must experience” recommendations…I’d appreciate any insights! I’m not really a “main attraction”/typical touristy spots kinda gal, I love nature and I just in general love discovering the low key spots that the locals love.

I appreciate that, genuinely. I’m doing a lot better but it never leaves you you just learn to grow with it instead of against it.

I lost my 43 year old fiancé to COVID. No comorbidities. I’ve never agreed with a comment more in my entire life. It’s so disheartening.
