“Do you know where we can get a nice crusty baguette?” I asked the gal working at Golden Glen Creamery.
“You’re going into Edison, right?”
“I don’t know. Where’s Edison?”
“Just up Farm to Market Road a couple miles. Breadfarm is there. That’s where you get bread.”
“Breadfarm. Okay. So I’ll just find it [...]
Golden Glen Creamery in Bow, Washington is spitting distance from the tulip fields we recently visited so we popped in for a block of cheese for our picnic lunch.
I wasn’t prepared for the decision making.
Golden Glen offers dozens of varieties of cheeses, including goudas, cheddars, feta, fresh mozzarella, parmesan and cheese [...]

I’d yet to meet one of those travelers in person, until Andrea Wren of Travelling Wren emailed from England saying she was coming to Seattle and invited me to join her for a hosted dinner at Pan Pacific Hotel. I was thrilled.
Three years ago, twin brothers, Davy and Daryl Vogel, took off with their parents from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska on a quest to travel all the way to the southern tip of South America. By bicycle. They were ten years old when they left their life behind in Boise, Idaho and started their adventure.
On March 21st, after [...]
