An adventure of my own

This last summer I had quite the adventure. For the first time in my 26 years I finally got to travel by myself. It wasn't very far, but a great warm up for the near future.


I traveled by train to Bellingham, WA. First, I must say traveling by train is the way to go! Comfortable and able to walk around and meet new people sitting around me or in the lounge. 
On the way up to Bellingham I had a slight "lay over" in Seattle ( first time ever in Seattle) then took the Greyhound Buss to Bellingham. Nerves and excitement filled me. I was on my way to hopefully be an Auntie with the African Children's Choir. I was in the last stage of interviews, one more than a dream could possibly come true! 
I made friends with a lady who was on her way to visit her friend in Bellingham.  A travel budy! We talked and I told her what I was up to. And she told me all about her family back home and her friend that lived in Bellingham.
When we arrived she wished me luck and we both went on our way. 
I remember as a little girl dreaming about the first time I would travel on my own. No parents, no one familiar, just new and exciting! Find adventure in the great unknown! Meet royalty, or perhaps Prince Charming( that was just a do gooder), discover a lost land (I was always a big dreamer lol).
Who would have known it would be the start of a new adventure, I had no idea about! As I reflect back to that head always in the cloud girl, I can't help but smile! Thankful that I live in a family that always backs me up, will tell me when I'm wrong, encourage me and loves me even though sometimes I am crazy and ridiculous. 
Here's to you Poppy, Marmy, Aimers, Scotchy, Doug o lug, and my minions!
Love you guys! (My minions are at the babysitters in this pic,MIA) lol!
