I'm still on teh West Coast. Washington State to be exact. It's not raining

[madinmaryland]

yet, but it may. There is rain about 20 miles north, south, and west of us, but not here (yet).

I think I will take a drive up to Stevens Pass tomorrow, maybe stop in Leavenworth for a good meal, and then on Sunday pick my wife and daughter up in Sea-Tac.

1. My dear madinmaryland!

I'm not sure just where in the western part of the state you are, but that western half is normally very pretty!

Have a great time, wherever you are!

2. Hi!

I'm in Wenatchee! The Wenatchee World building is right behind my hotel!

3. Stay on that side of the Cascades.

As soon as you get on my side, rain is guaranteed!

Might be snowing at Stevens...

Have fun!

5. Leavenworth has some really good food

If you like beer and brats, try the outdoor beergarden, Der Hinterhof:
http://www.leavenworthbeergarden.com/ . If you want romantic , a little fun decor, great Italian food and, if your timing is good, live music, try the Alley Cafe: http://www.thealleycafe.com/ . Cafe Christa is the big and most popular place that serves typical Bavarian/German cuisine: http://www.cafechrista.com/

Parking is mostly on the street, unless you stay in a hotel that offers it. Here is the whole website, it is a fun little town. http://www.leavenworth.org/modules/pages/?pageid=39&path=37%7C39

8. I ate at Visconti's a couple of weeks ago in Leavenworth. Really good.

Get the rack of lamb!

There is one in Wenatchee, also.

7. Been a cloudy and cool day in the North Cascades.

We're up at Mt. Baker. Have a good visit.

9. In British Columbia they claim they only say it rains a lot there because they want

to keep all of eastern Canada from moving there LOL!
