'random' vacation
I'm taking next week off from work, but for the first time in recent memory I have no concrete plans for my vacation time.

There's a strong likelihood that John and I will try to visit Bellingham, Washington on Tuesday; we might venture as far south as Seattle. Bellingham's familiar attractions include a great Italian restaurant, Mambo Italiano, and Village Bay Books, an excellent independent retailer. Perhaps we'd also get the opportunity to explore Mt. Baker and the North Cascades. If we go to Seattle, I hope we can visit Ben ([info]altf4ljdrama) and explore the newish Seattle Central Library, which was designed by Rem Koolhaas. I'd also like to visit Elliot Bay Books and the neighbourhood known as Queen Anne Hill, where my father spent some of his childhood.

If you come here it would be great to see you! Also, we have great local bookstores on Capitol Hill - Bailey/Coy right on Broadway and Twice Sold Tales in both the U. District (off C.H.) and just a little off Broadway.

Half Price Books has a few locations here, too.

Some of the other libraries are interesting architecturally, but sadly kind of far from downtown. The Montlake one won an award though, and is within distance.

Neighbourhood? You're spelling like a Canadian. *GRIN*
