To celebrate our 11th anniversary, my husband and I spent last weekend exploring in Washington state. We stayed on Whidbey Island and had a great time hiking at Deception Pass State Park (stunning), and wandering aimlessly through the little town of La Conner (charming) and the surrounding farmland. Oh, and we ate a lot of really, really yummy food. :)

This little scene is from La Conner - it was warm and breezy and just a perfect June day.

Summer! 

This scene from the Columbia River Gorge just screams summer to me. 

All the golds and the deep blue sky and the warm light on the road -- ah, summer. :)

I hope you are enjoying yours. :)

Another little scene from Indian Beach on the Oregon Coast. 

After completing this one, I asked my boys if it looked like rocks. 

The seven-year-old says, 'Well, kinda."

Guess that's gonna have to be good enough for today. ;)

Thanks for hanging out with me.

I always love going to my sister's house in the Columbia River Gorge. 

Mostly, of course, to spend time with her and her family, but a close second is the chance to see the incredible beauty along the way. Traveling from west to east, the landscape starts to show some skin as we go from waterfall-laden mountains to the golden hills and orchards of central Oregon and Washington. In the winter months (ok, potentially year-round), it's very typical to drive from overcast, wet weather in the west, to blue skies and sunshine an hour or two to the east. 

That's reason number three. :)

This little blue-skies-and-sunshine scene is from the small gorge town of Bingen, Washington, just across the Columbia River from Hood River, Oregon.
