Point No Point.

a while ago i posted about my favorite place in the world...

i went back this summer (as a life long tradition!) 

it was too short.

way. way. waaaayyyy too short.

and it happens to be my favorite place in the world so much so that I came home with far too many pictures to post all at once. 

So i'll split it up. 

Spread out the fun. 

Stretch out the memories as far as i can until i have to wait until next summer..

Point No Point Lighthouse in Hansville, Washington.
