Snoqualmie Falls

We had a slow start on Sunday after a late night (for us) catching up with Melissa. We had purchased a queen air mattress for Melissa to sleep on that pretty much took up the floor space in our living room. We were able to keep it inflated and put it on top of our bed to get it out of the way for the day.

We took a trip over to Issaquah's Visitor's Center to pick up some literature on the area. It was recommended to us to take the short drive over to take in the Snoqualmie Falls. We thought as it was mid-afternoon that there would hardly be a soul there. Boy! We were wrong. Traffic and parking was crazy. It was a very short walk from the parking area to the falls. The view was very pretty. Notice the small falls in the lower right hand corner.

After we walked a little further down the pathway to get a better view of the falls, a very nice couple offered to take a family picture in front of the falls.

After a short drive past the falls, we headed back to Blue Sky but we were first drawn in to this cute area called Snoqualmie Ridge. Within this neighborhood, they had a retail section that included all sorts of businesses within walking distance of the homes. There was a vet, restaurants, clothing stores, medical offices, pet store, grocery store and more -- everything a neighborhood could utilize. It was a very contemporary looking area.

We sat outside enjoying the evening until it started getting a bit cold.
