Because if you just want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and drink in some clean air while maybe catching a flick that you didn't have time for whilst at home, you have failed to live up to other peoples' expectations of how to live your life.
And you all need to get a haircut and get off my damned lawn.  |
I've seen the scenery enough to not have to spend every waking moment looking. It's a nice getaway. I especially love going there in the winter to catch the storms - pounding rain, high winds, crashing waves. Most of that time will be spent indoors, with occasional jaunts outside.
Besides, it's quite easy to escape Seattle and find yourself surrounded by nature. A 30-45 mile drive easily lands yourself in the mountains surrounded by forests, lakes, and rivers.
