It’s not a hardy laugh or anything like that. But just an eternal smile and chuckle from the heart. My favorite gesture of all! I wonder if you realize you do that. Lol!

Reasons I park far away. 1: when I load up the car, I need extra time to put things away and organize. I don't want to take up a prime spot with ppl all around me being nosey. 2: I have a dog, I park n good shade areas which are usually far away. Plus less people for him to feel on guard about being around the car. 3: I like privacy when going in and out of my car and it's nice to not worry about ppl peeking over your shoulder. 4: my car has a lot of stuff on it. It's easy to pull in and out of open areas than tight places. ANYWAY Good video as always Mateo!!

You asked of things to do in Washington. In Seattle there are two things I suggest 1. Public Market Center, You walk it. 2. The Space Needle. I always wanted to go visit or stay at the Nelson Treehouses. You visit you don't have to stay. It's a Family owned treehouse builders. Also there's Port Townsend. There the bunkers you can visit there's no cost. Plus Art Galleries they have a downtown. It's actually underground. Shops and businesses down below town. Don't forget the beaches. Enjoy beautiful Washington.
