This is where pies come to die.

The other day we were sitting around, and I couldn't help but comment "Raina, do you realize we haven't done any of the Seattley-touristy things that people would have done circa-1990!?!?" To which Raina replied "No!?!?!?"

To amend that problem, we could have done two things... formed an angsty grunge band with naked children orrrrr gone to see the waterfall featured in the middle 17 seconds of the opening of the sometimes good, often bad, but always weird "Twin Peaks."

You can probably guess it, but we went with the latter... unless there's some sort of "Magic Eye" naked children collage hidden somewhere in the above waterfall picture.

The whole drive to Snoqualmie Falls, I kept wanting to quote Kyle MacLachlan in his role as Dale Cooper, but I realized the only quotes I could remember involved midget talking backwards but played forwards, which I'm too tall to do, so we mainly just looked at pretty pretty trees. Also car accidents a-plenty.

Snoqualmie Falls was pretty majestic. Here, let me paint a word picture for you before showing you another picture-picture. Imagine a lot of water (like larger than a whole pot of water) falling. And that's what it's like. Except there's a lot of it (see above note about it being more than a whole pot of water).

Watch the water falling!

Here are a couple more pictures from the journey for your viewing enjoyment.

Walking down to the bottom of the falls. If only I had remembered to bring my oversized novelty barrel, the journey time and Raina's torso would have been cut in half!

It was a really long walk.

More spelunking.

Like the original Bonnie and Clyde, we broke the law and sneaked down to the bottom of the waterfall. However, unlike them, what we did wasn't actually illegal.

Raina at the bottom. She told me not to get the tree in the shot, but guess what, I did (shhhhhh, don't tell her!)

As you might have heard, walking down to the bottom of the waterfall was kind of tiring, so I took a drink from it.

Note to future self: drinking an entire waterfall causes big time gut rot.

And back at the top... Raina really likes powerlines, whereas I like the power they bring. Kismet.

We did plan to go and get pie from the diner featured in Twin Peaks, but we A. Didn't remember the name of it in the show, B. Didn't remember the name of it in real life. Maybe that can be a journey for another day, after all, there's always time for early '90s Seattley-Touristy time!

Until then!
