A place to post memes & images that won't absolutely obliterate your mental health! Memes must not stray into hopelessness and be generally positive or neutral.
I made this with my kid in mind, so that they can have a good, safe place to look at memes, just made to make folks laugh and smile!
Only goofs & silliness. (:

You'd have to bring your own books, but this might do: https://mtrainierguestservices.com/paradise-inn/
This one too. When we were there, people were reading, playing board games and just chilling: https://exploreolympic.com/lodging/lake-crescent-lodge/
Sorry if this is a weird question, but can I ask your process for finding places like this? I'd love something like these and would love to find more of them (and maybe one closer to home to start, ballin' on a budget here.) Even just a bed and breakfast in a picturesque small town would do fine lol.
My dad used to find this stuff all the time when I was a kid, but that was the days of Yellow Pages and racks of brochures at every hotel's front desk telling the locations of nearby water parks and Cowboy themed towns with mock gunfights. Gone are those days, replaced by Facebook which I do not use, and so I constantly seek somewhere that aggregates cool things like this to go do/see that isn't locked behind a spyware app.
I'm not sure of where you live, but both of these are national parks, so start there. We found Crescent Lodge on a whim because we were driving the peninsula. There is so much more on the peninsula that it's hard to tell you everything. That etc. at the end is a lot.
For Paradise Inn, you stop there if you ever go to Mt Rainier from the Seattle side. It's like going back in time.
My best suggestion is to look at state's brochures of where you live. I think they all have them. Texas advertises in Seattle, which results in a giant fuck you to the ads, but so does California, Arizona and Utah. Oregon has catalogs on the ferry with cool things to do. Not really a process, but look around at your tourist parks and ports for info kiosks or stands.
This is pretty great too https://www.alltrails.com/us Also, Washington has a trails guide and app that is amazing for it specifically, your state might too. https://www.wta.org/go-outside/map
Perfect this is exactly what I was looking for, thanks!
