A list of our favorite places, plus sites that we want to go to but haven’t seen yet, in Washington, Oregon, California, Alaska, Hawaii, Idaho, Nevada, and Utah. Because the western U.S. is so big and so full of awesome sights to see, I’m dividing them up, and I’ll list the Rocky Mountain states and Southwest states in my next post.

This was the first photo I took that really got me (Julie) interested in photography. But more importantly, I have had this photo displayed in a frame ever since to preserve a memory.
