For New Year’s Eve, we went to a place in Washington known as Blaine.
It’s one of the places that is the closest to Canada, it’s very close to the border. It was a spontaneous long-weekend staycation where we enjoyed our first wine-tasting experience as well as witnessed a beautiful sunset where the sky looked like it’d been set on fire (the picture above).
It’s roughly a 2-hour drive from downtown Seattle, scenic at places. We also enjoyed long walks on and near the beach, admiring the ocean-facing houses and mansions, and discussing pros and cons of living in such a dwelling.
Fun fact: Blaine was apparently named after a senator who hailed from Maine (Blaine from Maine!) in the 1800s.
The city’s official motto is: “Where America Begins”. Well, it was certainly where our new year began!
