How a trip evolves is almost as interesting to me as the destination. I find it utterly fascinating how people plan what they want to do and how those plans change once the trip begins. Eric and I are a fun example. Our trips always begin with a solid itinerary of healthy activities and lofty goals. “We’re going to hike 8 miles today and eat tuna and crackers” becomes “let’s stop in this town that has an amazing bakery and we’ll squeeze in a quick beach walk.” Such was the case after a week into our Hiking Washington trip.
