Snoqualmie Falls

In November we took a spontaneous day trip to Snoqualmie Falls.  We thought with all the recent rain and the colder weather that is fall in the PNW, the waterfall would be full and gushing, and it was, just not as full as we thought it would be, which was fine.  It still made for a great day trip.  We hadn't planned on hiking the small 3 mile round trip trail that lead to the bottom, but Kayden really wanted to, so we thought, why not?

Then on the way home, we stopped in the small town of Gold Bar (which happens to be the same town where our family pictures were taken this year!), and grabbed some pizza, which was a really sketchy place.  I think a majority of their orders are either take out or delivery, but since we were just driving through town we decided to dine in.  Eek.  I'm pretty sure the carpets hadn't been cleaned since the building was built in, oh, I don't know, the mid 1900's, let alone vacuumed, the tables were a tad bit wobbly, and the chairs were probably once designed for a dr's office, or formal living space, but if I had to guess, I'd say they were second hand store purchases or garage sale finds.  And trust me, I have no problem shopping either of those places, but the legs on these chairs were a little, lets say, uneven, loose, not secure, but hey, the pizza was good.  They also had a few arcade games, mostly car racing games, that were for purchase, in case you're in the market to buy an arcade game and pizza in the same trip.  They also had a few vending machines, mostly empty, but you could purchase bottled water and canned soda.  And if my memory serves me right, they also had a few spots full of candy and gum.

Anyway, it felt good to get some fresh air and explore some places that are in "our backyard".  Spontaneous day trips are always fun and always memorable!
