Sightseeing in Seattle

Image
From Rainier we drove to Seattle and checked in to our hotel in the Queen Anne district. We woke up the next morning ready to start exploring.. and eating! We grabbed a bite to eat at Sugar Bakery and Coffeehouse and walked over to the International Fountain coffee's in hand. The fountain wasn't fully turned on but the boys enjoyed running around it.. and around it and around it..  and we watched.. and sipped.. Space Needle in the background. On our way to the Space Needle we came across a park and of course the kids had to play in it.. it was an amazing play ground.. really taking the basic slide and swings to the next level. Afterwards we strolled through the area passing the Space Needle.. Museum of Pop Culture and the Chihuly Garden.. we had seen some of Chihuly's work when there had been an exhibition in New York last year but didn't have the time to venture into any of the museum's on this visit. We walked towards the water to the Oly

Mount Rainier National Park

Image
We said our goodbyes to Oregon and crossed the Bridge of the Gods on our way into Washington State. We made a 3ish hour drive, most of it through the Gifford Pinchot National Forest and with no bars! We stopped for a moment to see Mount St. Helen (which I did not know was an active volcano, that last erupted in 1980) before heading to Mount Rainier.   At Mount Rainier National Park there are a multitude of hikes to choose from.. we started with the kid friendly Grove of the Patriarchs. It is approxamately a 1 mile loop where you walk along the Ohanapecosh River to an island of ancient Western red-cedar, Douglas-fir, and Western hemlock. We crossed a small suspension to get to the island. Some of the trees here were over 1000 years old and as wide as 50ft in circumference.   We ended up spending far more time at the Grove running circles around the trees.. Initially after this particular hike we had planned on hiking the Paradise trail but instead

Exploring Mount Hood and the Columbia River Gorge

Image
After Crater Lake we headed back north and checked into a hotel at Cascade Locks. Cascade Locks is a city along the Columbia River Gorge. The Columbia River Gorge marks the state line between Oregon and Washington. This was our view at breakfast, the Bridge of the Gods connecting Oregon and Washington. The plan was to drive down the Columbia River Scenic Highway and visit some waterfalls. Especially the famous Multnomah Falls but we found out that morning that the entire area was closed! :(  We sadly crossed off all the waterfalls and moved on to the next thing on our to do list while also quickly trying to figure out what we were going to do with the rest of our day. We crossed the Bridge of the Gods and drove into Washington heading to Beacon Rock State Park. Beacon Rock is 848 feet tall and is composed of basalt (the rapid cooling of lava). Henry Biddle purchased the rock in 1915 for $1 and during the next three years constructed a trail with 51 switchbacks, handrail
