Travelin’ by Tommia Wright
The first day of the year was spent watching the parade (well, channel-hopping to hear various takes on the same parade), listening to odd solutions to hangovers (granted, I would think most folks would do what they could to ‘avoid one if possible in the first place,’ but that requires logic), followed by ‘the best of this’ and ‘the best of that’ ending with ‘THE places to see year.’
I find I’m quite content just discovering the valley, such as the fun scene above in the town of Duvall.

What places do you wish to go to, want to return to, or create? What makes for the perfect getaway?

You just described one. Duvall was one of the many little places we stopped to check out antique stores on a long weekend. Duvall was actually a nice surprise with all their antiques and the bookstore.
Agreed with the little finds. I regret having had only a couple of hours to explore (too busy getting in trouble in shops in Monroe). Talking with a colleague of mine, we discussed the many dining options available there – another item on my ‘exploration’ list.
