If your town was practically surrounded by water, like this Vancouver resident's is...

In a few days, I'll have collected 6 weeks of stories to tell you and God knows how many photos to show you - I've shot more than 11,000, already, though of course you'd never actually want to see them all. Still... There's so much to tell you. Sadly, at this moment, the only thing on my mind is sleep. And so let's just give a little hat tip to the dude in the Vancouver park, yesterday, who knows how to kick his shoes off and enjoy a good thing when he sees it.
I've gotten a little spoiled by all these towns surrounded by water. Or at least super-accessible to a body of the glistening, splashing, wet stuff. Monday, that'll be a happy memory for a while. So as we're toasting guys who know how to take advantage of their surroundings, let's also pay a little homage to cities with glorious waterfronts.
And now? Good night!

Melody, you have heard that when I was five years old, I travelled with my parents to the Western Coastal States. I don't think we ever actually went to the coast, but we started in California, went to Oregon, and made a one day excursion to Washington. That trip was one of the brightest highlights of my childhood. For years I said I'd live in California when I grew up, but somehow, my life was directed East instead of West. Even though I was very young, the memories of that trip are still some of my fondest.
I know that this trip will be remembered as a highlight of your life, as well. What lasting impact it has on you is up to you. It can be whatever you want it to be!
BTW, I think Mother and I have friends who live in Vancouver!

Daddy, I totally get why you loved your trip. It sounded like an excellent adventure when Granddaddy told me his version of the trip's story. Now that I've spent more time in the area, I love it even more!
Looking forward to showing you my photos...
