Jenny's favorite hole in the wall restaurant. If you want to take a quick hike, there is a nice hike called Ranger's Hole nearby.
This is where we will be hiking on Monday. It is heaven.
If you have a spare day or a week, visit Leavenworth. This bavarian villiage is nestled in the mountains. Go to the Christmas store and get your ornaments for years to come.
One of the most gorgeous hikes in the USA. Travel 2 miles up until you can feel as if you could touch the mountain. At the top of the cliff, there is a small ranger's house. When I was a little girl, my grandfather took me up there. There was still a ranger living there. We brought him peaches and he told us so many tales. I remember grandpa and my dad taking turns carrying the pack and my brother. It was an amazing adventure.
Drive up the coast, jump on a ferry, take the shuttle to Roche Harbor and live like royalty. Roche Harbor is a far away place only a few get to experience. Any of the San Juan Islands are lovely. If this is something you want to do, talk to us about more ideas of what to do on the islands.
If you want to eat some of the best sushi in the USA, please visit Sushi Kappo Tamura. Sit at the bar and chat with the chef. He is from Kyoto and goes down to the docks every morning himself.
Go during a week day and enjoy the most beautiful blooms of the country.
So romantic and hip with amazing food. Get in line the moment it opens. The place is first come first serve and only sits about 20 people. Order the bibimbap.
Minimalistic coffee spot.
Interesting geological event through a field.
This is a 500 acre retired turn of the century army/navy base. This is a magical walk into the past along the ocean. Jenny wanted to get married here, but COVID got in the way. :)
Cozy coffee location
Lovely little cider tasting room. Also surrounded by food trucks...Yumm!
A boardwalk full of wildlife.
If you need any gear while here, go to REI.
