Take a break!
Take Highway 1 to explore Big SUR...
and biggest Sequoia sempervirens...
and taste some decent US-grown Vitis vinifera...
and then something non-US-grown, e.g. Camelia sinensis...
and then sail away SW to get lost in FP.
Or drive N from Seattle for five hours and ski in Whistler, Beautiful BC.
Or drive SE for just two hours and have a rendez-vous with Mr. Rainier.
Or head NE and in several hours meet Lk. Anna,
and then this Diablolic Beauty (or Handsome Devil?).
Or go W to enjoy the solitude on the Second (to none) Beach
before spending a night with this Cape to be flattered,
and then fly Kenmore Air back to Seattle at sunrise,
or in the middle of the day,
or right after the sunset,
and after a water-landing wait a bit to see this.
Or take off from Sea-Tac International on a Dreamliner and look out your window,
then, after a brief stop in La Ville-Lumière,
take an Airbus and reach the place where my heart stops beating,
where you can remind yourself what "the richest art museum & gallery" means,
and what an "unforgettable dinner" looks like,
so you're ready to return to work in the New World.
