Good bye May, Hello to June tomorrow... June! Summer! Cool? No, it's hot, humid, horrible weather in Texas and the Plains, ahh, summer to remember!
We are at the Half Way point, Seattle/Whidbey Island anchor stop. We left Portland this morning, stopped by the unbelievably beautiful Multnomah Falls and then onward to Seattle area.
It's very, very green and springy here in Oregon!
The side road next to I84 that leads to...
One of the sister falls, there are 8 total along this "Falls Trail" along the Columbia River...
You know who!
This is the first sight you see when you look up from the Multnomah Falls sign...
Isn't she just the most beautiful? And, Multnomah Falls isn't too shabby either!
Impressive and Awesome would be appropriate here...
Yep, my Sweetheart truly makes this picture memorable...
Can you believe that there is such beauty?
Sure is, right there...
doesn't get any better than this...
After a good visit at the falls, we headed to...
A LOT OF, HIGHWAY FULL OF, WAY TOO MUCH OF... TRAFFIC
Seattle is a BIG city!
And the number 1 spot to visit in Seattle is...
Pike Public Market... America's oldest Farmer's Market...
Lots and lots of fish markets,
And flowers in her hair, everywhere... and more....
We stopped at the Pike Place Chowder store
And tried the chowder samplers... so good!
all kinds of goods and foods...
Even ice creams and candies...
Many flavors and ethnic dishes
Gardens
Right on Puget Sound and that's the Olympic Peninsula across the water...
In front of Starbucks store NUMBER 1, here's where it all started in 1971...
Starbucks for sure...
It was another adventure and traffic filled day. The traffic around Seattle is akin to or worse than anything I've seen in New York, DC, even Houston!!! But, with God's protection and guidance we arrived back safely at our hotel on Fort Lewis.
Tomorrow we head for the Olympic Peninsula and try to hit the Most North Western point in the continental United States, outside of Alaska, cuz that would be somewhere close to Russian space on the Aleutian Islands... so, in the lower 48 states... it's Neah Bay, but it's on an Indian reservation, so we are hoping we can still get there.
Tune in tomorrow to see how we did... anyways, after Neah Bay we'll plan to take the ferry from Port Townsend over to Coupeville on Whidbey Island. There we'll slow things down for three days and explore the area in detail...
Looking forward to sharing it all with you.
God bless you and keep you in His Loving Grace!
