Dry Falls, the Largest on Earth
This week we camped east of the mountains and enjoyed a landscape completely opposite to our Seattle area scenery.

Walking Midst the Tallest Trees on Earth
I’m talking about the Redwoods of course! We recently returned from a trip to Northern California, home to the Coast Redwoods – and my oh my – those are SOME TREES! The drive there was magnificent too, south on Hwy 101 along the beautiful… Continue Reading “Walking Midst the Tallest Trees on Earth”
Off to Paradise – Mt. Rainier, Waterfalls and Blackberry Pie!
On the hottest day of the year we took a drive to our favorite local attraction – the big mountain two hours south!

Memories in Bremerton and a Ferry Ride to Seattle
We were looking for a way to spend a sunny spring day and settled on a drive to Bremerton, where we’d visit the Navy Museum and take the ferry back to Seattle. The day would trigger long forgotten memories that I will share with… Continue Reading “Memories in Bremerton and a Ferry Ride to Seattle”
