Eastern Washington

Tom and I just had a fun vacation in Eastern Washington. We're both from Seattle, but it's pretty rare that we travel to the hot dry Eastern side of our state. After a few weeks of cool damp weather, dry heat sounded great, and it was! We drove a loop starting in Leavenworth, then up to Sun Mountain near Winthrop, over to Spokane, down to Walla Walla and finally ended up in the center of wine and hop country in Yakima Valley. We sampled many fine hoppy IPAs and visited vineyards and wineries along the way. It was a very relaxing trip!

Here are a few photos I took.
