Up in Washington there is a city called Tacoma. I’ve lived in Tacoma since June of 2005. Every year I’ve made a drive down to Point Defiance and have driven through their 5 mile drive. Every year I tell myself (and the kids) that one day we will hike it. At one point I even started “conditioning” us for the hike.

Well it seems that we will be leaving Washington one day soon and we have yet to make it through that 5 mile drive.

So, before we go, I want to make it through that hike, take pictures, hang at the beach and have a picnic. 21 months ago
