The Seattle Aquarium was absolutely phenomenal – one of the best I’ve ever been in, and I’m an aquarium connoisseur, and just so totally different from East Coast aquariums, which was a breath of fresh air. It’s much larger than it seems from the outside, beautifully designed and flowing well, and full of things I’d…

seattle: chihuly glass garden
The Chihuly Glass Garden was so stunningly lovely, so powerful, that I wasn’t sure if I wanted to cry or explode in a million pieces. Maybe both.
life list: baltimore orioles @ seattle mariners
4. Visit every MLB stadium. The Orioles are bad. The Mariners are bad. We saw two former first rounders pitch for two last place teams. Safeco Field is gorgeous. Seattle hot dogs are weird. Kyle Seager is still and always and belovedly a dope, and he hit a home run. We now own a Lou…

One nice thing about traveling with the Maternal Unit is that she likes cemeteries as much as I do. Oakdale Cemetery in Wilmington is staggeringly lovely. Full set here.

charleston, south carolina
charleston, south carolina, originally uploaded by minervacat. No inspiration again this week; to be honest, I’m not feeling very inspired at this point in time. For example, last night I couldn’t fall asleep and then when I finally did, I slept badly; and I miss Six; and I’m just generally feeling a little anxious and…

Behind the jump, a thousand words in words and seven thousand in photos on Bristol, Tennessee. (This is long; sorry! In my defense, it’ll probably be the longest thing I ever post on here.)

rest stops i have known and sometimes loved: tennessee welcome area, originally uploaded by minervacat. All I need for inspiration today is this list of performers at the Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion and the prospect of 241 miles of road ahead of us.
