Seeking sunshine
We had such a stretch of warm sunny days this fall, and now all of a sudden it’s cold and rainy. Our jackets and boots are already all wet, and it may be a long time before we see a clear blue sky. Facing an extended slog through the long drizzly season, you might wonder ... where can we escape to the sun, on a short, non-stop flight?
When you need to refill your stores of vitamin D, some family-friendly sunny desert climes are just a short flight away from Seattle. Gather your crew, grab your sunglasses and visit one of these warm winter vacation spots. They’re perfect for Pacific Northwest families. Send us a postcard!
First stop: desert city
