"Falling" for Seattle

Saturday was a more relaxed day.

We went to Snoqualmie Falls. A great falls east of Seattle about 25 miles. There was a nice park near it and you could get views of the falls from the top, then hike down to the bottom to get a great view there.

We spent a few hours there, hiked around the nearby forest as well and had plans to go visit Jen's uncle Jeff who lived a few miles away in North Bend.

On the way there I had to stop to briefly stop at the Northwest Railway Museum for my dad.

We got to their house, a beautiful house literally at the bottom of a mountain (there back yard was a rock wall sloping upward). They showed us photos of all sorts of woodland creatures that called their yard home ---- deer, elk, and bear!

A nice afternoon of chatting, snacks, Jen's cousin Nick and his girlfriend Helen stopped by. We then went out to dinner. A nice dinner at a local restaurant. Had way too much too eat and drink!

A fun evening and we head back to our home away from home .. the Travellodge. Finally getting to know the area now.
