vacation day 9

last day. i packed in the morning, we had breakfast, then we took off for point defiance. i had no idea what that was. turns out, i think it was my favorite thing. sadly we only had a couple hours there, though.

we went through the rose garden (where i climbed a tree!) and the japanese garden there, then took off for the woods. absolutely gorgeous. i couldn't decide if i was in the forest in buckland or in fangorn, but i knew i was someplace special with old trees, and hills you climb by holding onto roots. i now have to go back to tacoma just to spend time there. there are walking trails and a zoo that i missed.

after that we grabbed a quick bite at a buffalo restaurant, where i got a bison taco salad, which was very good, but very huge, and very spicy so i almost died. but worth it cuz it was yummy. then it was time to head for the airport and go home. i was glad i would have two days off before i went back to work to recover (we had had a busy week!), but so sad to be leaving already. it was a great vacation.
