We recently provided a writing prompt to our authors: If you could take three people on summer vacation, you'd take [who] and [why]. We told them they could take real or fictional people, from the past, present, or future.
Today, Betty Thomason Owens gives us her response.
If I Could Take Three People on Summer Vacation
by Betty Thomason Owens
If I could take three people on summer vacation, I’d take …
If I could take three people on a summer vacation, I'd take
my husband, my mom, and Dad to Seattle and surrounds. I'd want my best friend
and husband of forty years with me, because it just wouldn't be fun without him
and he loves the area. My mother grew up in Seattle and Dad always regretted
never taking her to visit. We wouldn't fly, because Mom has difficulty with the
altitude thing, so we'd rent a luxurious RV and make it a fun road
trip. This is fantasy, right? So I can afford a luxurious RV and an extended
vacation.
Upon arrival in Seattle, we'd visit all the places my mother
remembers from her childhood. We'd sip coffee at Tully's downtown and
stroll over to Pike's Place Market. We'd sit on the wharf and have a bowl
of fresh clam chowder.
Afterward, we'd visit her cousins who live in a beautiful
log cabin near Edgewood. The views of Rainier are amazing in that area. We'd
visit Rainier National Park then stop at the fruit stands and eat fresh
cherries--because of course it would be cherry season.
A ferry would then transport us to the San Juan Islands in
the Puget Sound. We'd visit Friday Harbor and Orcas Island, do some whale
watching, and climb Mt. Constitution.
After we'd seen everything Mom wanted to see, we'd head back
to Kentucky, where she now lives alone, in a one-bedroom apartment. Dad's been
gone for eight years. But it sure would be nice to visit with him and make an
old dream come true for the both of them.
