Sunny and I spent the afternoon on a road trip to Leavenworth. We stopped at Safeway to pick up sandwiches and ate a picnic lunch next to a river. The weather was terrific.

Sunny and I visited the Camlann Medieval May Day Festival where we were transported back to the medieval town of Camlann. The year was 1376 and we were in rural England. We ate a great lunch of mutton and stew. Learned how to use a bow (I nearly hit a bulls eye on my first attempt), and witnessed a marvelous magic show. The town was not too busy and we had a fun time.

Sunny and I drove to Snoqualmie Falls today, and I never get tired of the hike down to the base of the falls. I love the photo of the huge pipes leading to the power plant!

Sunny and I spent the day touring Mount Vernon’s tulip growing region for the Tulip Festival. Unfortunately, the season was running late so there were not too many tulips. But the tulips that were there were gorgeous. And we had a really nice time driving from field to field finding the perfect color and the perfect spot for a photo.

In honor of the one year anniversary of our vacation to Paris, Sunny and I ate a picnic on Greenlake. We loved eating picnics in Paris so a picnic was a perfect way to celebrate our vacation. Although there is no way I could top the city where I proposed to my wife, we always have a place in our heart for picnics. I’ve included a few picnic photos from Paris below. Bon appetite!

Sunny and I ate dinner on Alkai Beach. The weather was terrific, but cold, and the food at a small Greek Restaurant was delicious.

Sunny and I drove to Bellingham to relax for a day on the road. Later that day, Sunny and I looked at appliances at Home Depot for our future home. Lunch was at Bob’s Burger and Brew, where Sunny ate a salad and I ate an outstanding hamburger. Later that night was Andre’s BBQ!

I took these two photos in the Seattle Public Library. The building is architecturally cool – a steel and glass pseudo-pyramid among the tall skyscrapers of the Seattle center.

Sunny and I fed the ducks again at Greenlake. Afterwards we sat on a bench to watch the sunset.

Sunny and I hiked Cougar Mountain to Coal Creek Falls. The scenery was gorgeous and the hike was good practice for the backpacking trip I have planned…
