It’s just right there!!!! As we’ve been driving around Seattle, we have had a couple of magnificent views of Mount Rainier – from a distance of course and have been very excited about seeing it up close. After checking the weather which, by the way, has been absolutely beautiful since we’ve been here, we decided…

August 5, 2021 – The Center for Wooden Boats
As the son of a son of a sailor!!!! We took a little excursion this afternoon to Seattle (on the subway again) to The Center for Wooden Boats. The hubs has always been interested in boats and sailing and I thought this is something he would definitely enjoy. (Ed. Note – Yep!!!) We actually had…
August 2, 2021 – Pike Place Market, Space Needle, and Chihuly Glass and Garden
There’s too much to do!!!!!! I tell you – we have been so busy going and seeing that I haven’t had a minute to write a post! After driving downtown Seattle once, we’ve decided the best way to go is to ride the “lite rail” or subway (even though most of it is above ground😊)….
July 29, 2021 – Woodland Park Zoo, The Tea Cozy, and the Fremont Troll!
It’s not fair they have one of EVERYTHING!!!!! There is soooooo much to see in this city!! The hubs and I have spent a lot of time figuring out when we’re going where and the best days to go 😁. Today we started at the Woodland Park Zoo. I haven’t been to a zoo for…
July 27, 2021 – Yarn Shop, Port Angeles, Olympic National Park, Purple Haze Lavendar Farm
Water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink!!!! So, we’ve been in Seattle, Washington (technically Kent, WA) for two days and I’ve managed to stop at a yarn shop! The hubs and I went on quite a day trip – apparently, there’s so much water around here that has to be driven around and…
July 25, 2021 – Missoula, Montana
A brown LA haze!!!!! We’ve had a GREAT two weeks in Missoula, Montana – we love this town surrounded by tree covered mountains. Unfortunately, this time around the air was smoky from the fires further west in Idaho and Washington. For a couple hour each afternoon, the wind would blow enough for the blue sky…
July 9, 2021 – Glacier National Park in Pictures!
Whiskey River take my mind!!! This is the Glacier Distillery and Tasting Room. Great place to try their whiskey and a short walk to the “speakeasy” around back for cocktails using their products and small plates for a nice snack! Holy Madre!!!! We spent a day driving to the St. Mary’s east entrance…
July 5, 2021 – All About the Yarn!!
I think the editor just may take a nap for this one!!!! I usually write in chronological order but this time decided to group activities instead. So it’s all about the YARN! There are 3, yes THREE, yarn shops within 20 miles. I commented to one of the shop employees that I was surprised there…
June 26, 2021 – Wyoming and Glacier National Park, Montana
Well, at least it will be cooler, right????!!!! After a quick two weeks in Fort Collins, we headed out early Saturday morning toward Montana. Just a reminder that to get to Montana from Colorado, you have to cross the entire state of Wyoming! Our plan was to get to Billings, Montana to spend the night…
June 12, 2021 – Wizard of Oz and Eisenhower
Hold the line – didn’t we already do a Toto joke???? Or did that thought come out of Africa???? Our last week in Kansas, we decided to visit a couple of museums. My pick – the Oz Museum (when in Kansas….) in Wamego, Kansas, about 20 minutes drive from Manhattan. The hubs opted out of…
