A Little Wine and A LOT of water!

Since today was our last day in the Seattle area, we took the advice of some locals

and drove over to Snoqualmie Waterfalls and to the St. Michelle Winery.

We were not disappointed at all.We had a wonderfully clear view of Mt. Ranier as we crossed over Lake Washington
on the way to Snoqualmie to see the waterfalls.

Stephanie, do you recognize these waterfalls? They are actually the

ones used in the filming of "Twin Peaks."

This waterfall is said to be higher than Niagra,

and it certainly was as loud and as misty!

Because the sun was shining, there was a beautiful

rainbow next to the falls

After we left the falls, we discovered the Snoqualmie Centenial Log Pavillion

and this gianormous logAfter we left Snoqualmie, we went to the area of the St. Michelle Winery

which is actually one of the oldest on the west coast. The winery

were absolutely beautiful.

Here is Ed by one of the giant wine barrels.

Tomorrow morning we fly out of Seattle and head down south to Oakland

for our week in the San Francisco, Napa, and Sonoma Valley areas.
