Once again, it was a beautiful day! We made a kinda last minute decision to make the trip to the northern side of Mt St Helens since the weather forecast for the higher elevations calls for snow all week. They may start closing roads and we may not get another opportunity to get up there. The visitors centers and rest…
We wanted to take advantage of some nice weather today to return to the North Cascades National Park. They will be closing parts of the Cascade Highway as the snow comes in, so we wanted to get to a couple of places before that happens. Our first stop was a Bald Eagle Natural Area. This area is supposed to be…
This weekend we went back to Seaside to visit with our friends. We couldn’t have asked for better weather while we were there. We started Saturday with a nice long walk around town and on the Promenade. After soaking up some much needed sunshine, we headed back to our room for a quick nap before meeting up with our friends.…
We made it to North Cascades National Park. The water in the rivers and lakes here were so green! We walked up a short walk to check out a waterfall. The water coming down this fall was crystal clear ice blue colored. It almost didn’t look real. We drove up to Diablo Lake but the clouds and the rain…
Today, even though the weather forecast was questionable, we decided to head up to Mount Baker. The road up the mountain was beautiful. There were lots of waterfalls coming down the side of the mountain right at the road. We didn’t stop and take pictures of all of them. As we got closer to our destination the road became more…

On the drive out there we couldn’t stop looking at the snow capped mountains in the distance. As we got closer, of course the fog was coming in and it…
Our friends Sunni and Keith were in town for a birthday party and the hosts were nice enough to invite Scott and me to join them. It was nice to see them again. We had a blast and there were lots of laughs! Scott was in heaven because the party was donut themed. There were donuts everywhere. Lol
We visited the Flying Heritage and Combat Armor Museum again, since they were opening a new hangar. Not too many pictures this time, but there were a lot more tanks on display. The found this airplane (German Stuka) in a field in Russia after it crashed trying to attack Murmansk. They are in the process of making it flyable again.…
Just a few pictures from around town. These are outside the public library. Pics of the Naval Station The view of the mountains on a clear day. View of the mountains from inside the hospital.
