Rob McKenna for Governor! (And Axel Strakeljahn for Port Commissioner)

On Wednesday, I attended an invite only party, in honor of Rob McKenna entering the governor's race.
It was amazing! I made a lot of connections with many different people, got to meet Rob McKenna, and also met Axel Strakeljahn. I enjoyed delicious catering by Essence of Thyme, and explored Cedar Cove Inn, the lovely bed and breakfast where the fundraiser was held. If you're ever looking for a place to stay in Port Orchard, I highly recommend checking them out!

North Dakota! :D

I love North Dakota. A lot.
It's definitely my favorite state, and not just because I have a ton of relatives there. 
To start with, I love the restaurants. I love The Woodhouse, which has "frenchies." For all you curious Washingtonians, a frenchie is a deep-fried, grilled cheese sandwich. The cheese melts in your mouth, along with the bread. It's absolutely delicious. In addition, the Woodhouse has the BEST onion rings you will ever taste in your entire life. They're perfectly deep-fried in a house batter that is simply AMAZING. 
I love Taco Johns, which is the equivalent of a Taco Time, here on the west coast. It's odd, because we have more Mexicans here, but nobody does Mexican like Taco Johns.
Finally, I love A&B Pizza. It's like Chuckie Cheese's, except with totally scrumptious thin-crust pizza. The flavor is awesome!
Unfortunately, since I have no pictures of food (I ate it too quickly), I shall present you with other photography, demonstrating most of the other reasons I adore North Dakota and its populace.

On the way to my mom's farm, we passed many hay bales. I just had to take a picture of this one, with the hawk relaxing on top.
