I am in the Airport, waiting to board a plane to Seattle!
My husband and I have been looking forward to this trip all summer. We are
visiting the city for a few days, where we are planning on eating all of the
delicious food and visit local breweries. We are also going on a kayak
tour of the Ballard Locks, and I am hoping we get to see some wildlife like
seals or otters.
After that we are
going to Mount Rainier National Park, then Olympic National Park, for some nice
long day hikes. We love to hike, and I can't wait to be back in the mountains!
We try to get to at least one new park per year, so it is exciting that we're
visiting two.
One of the coolest
things about visiting these parks is that, thanks to this course, I now have
online communities to share the experience with. I joined some Pacific
Northwest hiking communities for my community observation project, and I have
gotten so much great advice from the member of these groups! I am still posting
and getting tips and suggestions, and members have asked for me and my husband
to post photos of our park experience. For a chronic lurker like me, this has
been a very cool experience! I'll likely post some photos on Instagram
this week, as well.
Off we go!
I have never been to Seattle and hope to make it soon. Enjoy and have a safe fun trip. I hope to see some of these Instagram pics as well.
ReplyDeleteThat is so awesome that you have expanded your PLN over the course of this semester! The contributions I made to a film community for my community observation project have also resulted in my coming out of my shell, and I too continue to be an active member of that community. This sustained community interaction has for sure been one of the most rewarding aspects of this class. Happy hiking!
ReplyDeleteYay! I hope you guys have fun! And you are quite right, a well deserved trip is the perfect ending to the semester.
ReplyDeleteYes! I also feel I have gained an online community this semester #DoctoralMomLife that I did not initially plan to be a member of, but the process and interaction was so rewarding and the knowledge gained so valuable that I am remaining. And am pleasantly surprised, but glad I came to be a part of this community, even if it was not intentional in the beginning to be a long lasting one. I have #eme6414 to thank for that! <3
ReplyDeleteP.S - I love your book background!
