Location of the best Eggs Benny I have ever had.

Lovely little coffee shop/ cafe/ art gallery in Edison.

Edison Washington was found by accident when driving back from the Skagit Tulip Festival with my sister 2 years ago. I've been back 6 times since. Highly recommended.

Galloping Gertie

We went on a little trip (I'll tell you a little more about it later). We were driving along and I had that inexplicable sense of "wait a minute. this isn't right". This was supposed to be a weekend adventure. Traveling down the highway, one can come to the conclusion it's one of those places that you're bound to see exactly what is right in front of you- the ass of another car and not too much else. You can pretty much guarantee you're going to get to where you are going in an allotted amount of time and you'll get there without too much going on. You can also pretty much bank your bets that you'll be bored out of yer mind doing it.

My suggestion, especially if you have the time (and maybe a GPS or a laptop that will pick up random wireless connections in Casino parking lots) is to take that random exit off the highway. Make an attempt to find the side highways that pass through the bizarre little towns and stop for coffee if you see something random and possible interesting. You know.. support the local economy and take a photo.

And that's what we did. "Hey take that next exit. I have a feeling."

It was a good moment and it turned into an adventure. (I'll tell you more about it later.)

All of a sudden we were going across a GIANT BRIDGE. Not just any bridge though. As we start to traverse the span..he says.. "did you ever see the footage of that suspension bridge that twisted" and he moves his hand in a motion similar to a pageant queen waving on a parade float.

"Ya, what about it?"

"This is that bridge."

It was a bridge with history. Behold the Tacoma Narrows bridge disaster of 1940.
