Day 5- A day of driving and taking in the scenery

---

Change of plans for the day. The innkeeper gave us a map with suggestions of places to go and see some of the countryside so we decided that was what we would do today.

First stop some shopping for a few more clothes at our favourite stores - TJ Max and Marshalls. Always get great designer label bargains in these stores.

Then we picked up lunch at the local Safeway supermarket. It's a great way to save a few dollars and quite frankly Geoff and I don't really want to eat too much fast food so soup and salad rolls is a great option.

The area around Snohomish is a beautiful drive. Lots of farmland and huge mountains in the background. The scenery was spectacular. Found a lovely quiet park called "Kla Ha Ya" park to eat our lunch. The park was right next to a river and it was so peaceful with nobody else around.

We had a walk around the local shops. They were very interesting - selling old fashioned goods, antiques and nostalgic items. Continued on with the drive through a town called Carnation and then onto a lovely place called Snoqualmie. The Snoqualmie Falls are the main attraction in this town and well worth stopping to look at. The water plummets down 270 feet and is a spectacular sight. Geoff took some fantastic photos.

On the way home we stopped and bought a "point and shoot"camera to use while we are up in Alaska. Sometimes the small cameras are a lot let hassle than the more fancy SLR that we usually use. Fingers crossed anyway!
