As B and I start the process of traveling and exploring the Northwest more, I am reminded of past trips that are so dear. This particular trip comes to mind and since Laura has such beautiful photos, I will share a story here.

I am profoundly lucky to be surrounded by such inspiring people and equally to be able to call them friends. This trip was a short getaway up to The Bus in Hood River with Laura and Amos. It is such a nice place to escape, just an hour from the city you are free. No electricity. No running water. Just the old bus on the side of hill facing a mountain. We had laughter and tears(Henry 10months at the time) and ideas shared about travel and living simply. Blake played us music and we made a fire in the old wood stove. Laura and Amos shot this video of B there the next day:

This was the beginning of so many more adventures. Here is little H not letting me(or anyone) sleep late on the bus.
