emeraldcityblogger's Biography

When I travel, I like to research a destination because I know I will be there for only a moment in time. If you can get off the beaten path thanks to the remark of a local, sometimes that makes all the difference. If your spirit soars while you are on your journey, you’ve accomplished your purpose. I’ve lived across the lake from Seattle most of my life. Two beautiful daughters, a hard-working husband, a house with a yard, a shepherd and a yellow lab make life a joy.
