I've enjoyed several longer trips (and to Burning Man past two years) but wanted to share a day trip with my mom. She is now 92 and lives independently, condo in the Seattle Chinatown International District.
I called and said hey let's go have lunch on Whidbey Island. There's this amazing ramen restaurant called Ultra House in a small town on Whidbey Island operated by a guy from Japan. Two hours from Seattle with a half hour ferry ride. She thought I was showing up in my car. When I said look out the window, we're going in the GMC she was like a little kid - pure joy.




Just noticed the temporary note on my dash in that photo, "3-1/3 turns lock to lock." Checked something based on a thread from this forum. All good.
The ramen in this small town restaurant is world class. My mom grew up in Japan, moved to the US in the 1950s and spent much of her retirement traveling all over Asia. She still cooks amazing meals and has taught cooking classes. She said the ramen in this Whidbey Island restaurant would do well in Tokyo.



The GMC makes even a quick trip so memorable.
