Aunt Jojo and the Pacific Ocean (Somewhere in Oregon) |
Summer vacation is not just for kids, though I still consider myself a kid at heart. I usually satisfy my wanderlust with weekend adventures near Los Angeles, but when my Aunt Jojo mentioned a road trip to a family farm in Snohomish, WA, I suddenly felt the need to explore far away places.
Right now was a perfect time for us to make this journey together. Aunt Jojo's boyfriend Donnie passed away almost a year ago, and I'm still looking for love. Though we have a lot in common, our differences compliment each other very well. I like to plan everything from start to finish, and Jojo likes to go with the flow. Jojo is a morning person, and I am an evening person. Jojo grew up in the '70's, and I have a passion for seventies music. We joked about meeting a father/son pair on the road, but we were just as happy with the two of us.
