I love living in Washington. Even with the gray skies and rain, we have some of the loveliest scenery in the country. And when the weather cooperates, there’s not much that can compare.

I spent the weekend out in Discovery Bay, a ferry ride from Seattle with a short drive across the Hood Canal bridge, through beautiful fall foliage. The bay was tranquil. Saturday was a crisp and sunny, conducive to relaxation and spending time with friends.

It was the a wonderful fall weekend, a last bit of vitamin D before the gray takes over for the next few months.
