3 More Things I Learned on Vacation

Sculpture outside of the National Nordic Museum 


 #83 October 17:  The National Nordic Museum was close to our Air B&B and it was free on Thursday. I  never thought about the Nords coming to the Pacific NW, but with all of the logging and fishing, I guess it makes sense.  According to the exhibit, between 1840 and 1920 (80 yr) nearly 1/3 of the Nordic population immigrated to the US. 10/15

#84 October 18: When I think of folks from the Nordic countries, I usually think of tall blonde Finns and Swedes.  It was eye-opening to see the diversity of body types, coloring, and ethnicities. 10/15

#85 October 19:  It was so much fun having our children “to ourselves” on vacation.  We declared Clay “the restaurant whisperer” as he could find the best “holes in the wall” with terrific food.  10/15
