A nice afternoon exploring! This trip included a ferry ride, Cup and Muffin, a stop at the local Alpaca Farm, and a darling little town on the water called Port Townsend.

Chihuly Garden and Glass …..WOW what can I say other then, it costs about $19.00 to get in and it is well worth every penny. I hope you enjoy these as much as I enjoyed taking them.

A weekend at Cannon Beach

Cannon Beach is about a 3 1/2 to 4 hour drive from the Seattle area, but well worth the trip. This is one of the most relaxing vacations I have ever taken. Beach life in Oregon is exactly what you expect it to be, wonderful! The day playing on the beach or exploring the cafes and shops, the evening roasting marshmallows, and breakfast the next morning looking for star fish on Haystack rock, This is a one of a kind find. Im just gonna let the images speak for themselves, you can come to your own conclusions.

Long Beach Washington

Long Beach isn’t exactly near Seattle, Its about a 3 to 4 hour drive south near the Oregon border. So peaceful, so beautiful, and just delightful. Long Beach is located on a peninsula and offers shopping, hotels, restaurants, and abundance of family friendly stores, to make everyone happy. Looking forward to spending more time there myself.

Capilano Suspension Bridge, Treetop Adventure, and Cliffwalk

Capilano Suspension Bridge is located about two and a half hours north of Seattle, in Vancouver, BC. This little park packs a serious punch. There is so much to see and explore, for the entire family. The $32.95 adult entry fee covers the Suspension Bridge, Treetop Adventure, and the “one of a kind” Cliffwalk. If you are afraid of heights, this is not the place to visit. You might want to consider the gift shop, or cafe instead. Most of the attractions have an amazing view of the Capilano River below, and the deck like trails, make it an easy walk. Get all the information you need at http://www.capbridge.com/hoursrates.php

Shopping Asian Style

Uwajimaya is a fantastic Asian market in the International District of Seattle. It is easily accessible and has its own parking lot. ( parking downtown can be challenging) The market has everything from fruit and veggies to dishes and toys… there is shopping for everyone! It even has its own food court, and did I mention how beautiful the store its self is? Dragons and paper fish decorate the celling and walls. Just a walk though is definitely worth it.
