In May 2014, Carrie and Andrew sailed to Alaska with us. Frank and I flew up a few days early and took our rental Cadillac (we were stylin') and drove into the Cascades outside Seattle, WA. It rained a fair amount of the time, so the days appeared drab. It was still beautiful, considering home in Louisiana is pretty flat!
The dam was built in the 30's and you can see the 30's style in the construction in those incredible lights. As I walked across the dam road, I was swept into visions of Flapper Girls sporting long cigarette holders in tight thigh length fringe-y dresses. 
They walk on the arms of square jawed men in tuxedos who go home and write paragraphs of Hemingway style prose, sitting in their wife beater undershirts and Brylcreem. It was one of the places on earth that touched my soul.
