Jul. 20, 2008 - Washington State, Here We Come!
A couple of weeks ago, my family and I made an almost two week trip into the heart of some of the wettest territory in the Northwest. Yesiree, Washington State, the home of rain, rain, and road construction. People pictures are taboo, but I would love to share some other interesting photographs with my bloggie friends.
We started the facinating parts of our trip in Shaniko, Oregon. It took us a while to get there. The really neat schoolhouse had been closed for quite some time, but it had just recently opened up, and we got to go inside.
A really neat lady had set up a little "museum" of weaving, knitting, spinning, and crocheting. She also sold some of the things she had made, including these colorful hats.
I also caught an interesting picture of some wool that was dying to get away from the camera. (Sorry, the pun just slipped out.)
Our next sightseeing stop was on the WA side of the Colombia River. Do you know what we saw there? One of the most recognizable, and ancient structures in the world.
Yes, that's right! Stonehenge in all of it's glory! Okay, so it's only a small, one, and it's obviously not in England, where the British left it, but it was kind of cool to see it anyway.
I also took two really neat pictures of the American flag that was flying.
Finally, I leave you with the dreaded words, TO BE CONTINUED!

HI Eyebright!
It's your SSA! Just wanted to stop by and say hi and let you know I'll be praying for you!
Before I said I got you something for knitting. I made a mistake and forgot that we picked something different.
We have a busy week, but hope to get it in the mail to you soon!
Have a great day!

Wow! I didn't know Washington had a Stonehenge...even a little one!:) And those hats looked so cozy and wonderfully hand made. Thanks for sharing, I will be awaiting the continued post!
Have a Great Day!

I love your wit Eyebright! The pictures were great (especially the Stonehenge) and I'm assuming your remark regarding no people pictures had to do with the Amish. Glad you had a good time...I've never been further nothwest than Cheyenne, WY. , but would love to go someday to Oregon and Washington.
Thanks so much for your kind birthday wishes.
Blessings, Julie

How did I miss this post? Hmm... very strange indeed, but nonetheless, it was interesting to see your photos. Very nice shots of the flag. :)
