Snoqualmie Falls and the ferry to Friday Harbor

Yesterday was our last day at Mount Rainier...sad, but on to more adventures!!  We drove to Snoqualmie Falls and had a fabulous lunch at Salish Inn, over looking the falls.  We had a small private alcove all to ourselves and had a gorgeous view of the falls.  We also had a marvelous meal and yes...I got a menu!!  We talked to the hostess, Teresa, and our waitress, Rachel and showed them the blog and the boys!  They took the blog address and we took a picture of both of them!  They are both very sweet young ladies and gave us good travel information.

 After lunch, we walked along the viewpoint path and Brother Sacker took some pics and a video of the falls.

 After leaving Snoqualmie, we drove to Anacortes, WA and got in line for the ferry to Friday Harbor.

 We got checked in at Tucker House Inn B and B and went to dinner at Haley's Bait Shop and Grill.  No, it isn't a bait shop but it IS a good restaurant!!  Had some great homemade clam chowder.  And, yes...I got a menu!!    We are in our room and totally relaxed, which is kind of the purpose for our vacation!!  Tomorrow, we will be checking out Friday Harbor (actually the name of the island)...got some great advice re sightseeing from our waitress, Emerald (I know...cool name, huh?). Oops, I almost forgot...Brother Sacker was backing our car up into the parking area of the B and B and had backed up, then pulled back out, but was, of course, pulled out onto the wrong side of the street than what we should have been in and all of a sudden, there were red and blue flashing lights and so Brother Sacker stops backing up, waiting for the police.  One of the most polite policemen came up to the window and said that the only time someone drives in the wrong lane is if they are drunk or a tourist!!  After Brother Sacker explained WHY we were on the wrong side of the street, he said that was what he figured was happening and told us to have a great time exploring the island!!  I love Friday Harbor!!
