Homeward Bound
I was still attempting to convince my brain it was morning (think giant cup of coffee), when the phone rang last Monday. On the other end of the line was Phil with the happy news that would change our lives; after four years, we are moving back to Washington this May.
We have spent the last four years living in the Hamptons on the eastern end of Long Island and have never quite managed to make it feel like home. A northwest cliche through and through; I was a flannel clad teen who started mainlining espresso at the age of twelve (she types while chugging a giant cup of Italian Roast) . Like many northwesterners I have salmon in my blood, Hendrix on the brain and drizzling rain in my soul. With such strong feelings you may be surprised to find that for most of my life I took it all for granted. It took leaving to make me realize just how much I love my home.
For this weeks post, I have compiled an extremely paired down list of my favorite markets, restaurants and treats in the Puget Sound area to share with you. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
