First storm of the season coming through here so I’m using a picture from years ago. This a picture taken on our trip to Hawaii on 2017 at the Dole Plantation in Wahiawa.

Where did the Summer go? The damp weather is setting in here in the Pacific Northwest. I sure will miss the sunshine but I’m looking forward to the holiday season. My favorite time of the year!

This past weekend we were able to take some time for a family roadtrip to Snoqualmie before all the craziness of (home) school started. Our first stop was Snoqualmie Falls, WA. It is such a beautiful sight. Our two youngest have never been and it’s such a short and easy walk from the parking lot to see it. It’s definitely a “must see” stop on I-90.
If you want to get in a little more exercise there is a trail down to a lower view point you can hike down about .70 mile (1.4 miles roundtrip). My husband and I did this about 2 years ago. It was fun and easy going down the trail but coming back up was a feat for someone that doesn’t get much exercise. We chose to skip it on this trip.
Our next stop was to the Iron Horse Tunnel. It was so much larger than I thought it would be. It was literally cool. Dress warm if you do choose to visit.
We only walked in about 100 yards. It gets eerily dark the further you go in. Definitely not for those afraid of the dark. Even with a flashlight I felt like I needed to look at every nook and cranny to make sure there wasn’t anything waiting for us.
I do have to admit. It would be neat to bike ride through it. It’s a little more than 2 miles long and it’s very well maintained. Be prepared with good lighting and light, reflective clothing whether you are walking or biking in the tunnel.

This picture of petunia filled baskets was taken in a little Bavarian themed village called Leavenworth in the Cascade Mountains in Washington State. I wish I could grow baskets like these. These and other baskets around the village bring so much color to the already beautiful decor. I love Leavenworth, WA!
This is a picture I’ve taken of Snoqualmie Falls in Washington State during the summer. The Falls can get pretty ferocious during the rainy season.

I love this quote. Although I kind of wish 2020 was a little more on the normal side, this year has really given me some time to reflect, research and work towards an amazing future.

This is a photo taken on the Obstruction Point hiking trail at Hurricane Ridge, WA. We did not go very far into the trail but what we did get to see was very beautiful.

During our camping trip in Sequim, WA over the weekend we decided to pay another visit to Graymarsh Berry Farm. This time their Blackberries and Blueberries were ready for picking. We decided to hand pick blackberries for the experience and purchase already picked blueberries. It’s always a fun time gathering the best of the beautifully ripened berries. The blackberries we picked were from thornless bushes. I didn’t know there was such a thing as thornless blackberry bushes. Learned something new!
I was able to also get a few shots of their small garden of sunflowers.

Have a wonderful Sunday! This picture was taken from a look-out point on the road to the Obstruction Point Trailhead at Hurricane Ridge, WA.
