Our dear friends got married last month in Covington, Washington. Now if you have ever tuned into the Animal Planet's show Finding Bigfoot you know that that part of the country is loaded with sasquatch.
http://animal.discovery.com/tv-shows/finding-bigfoot According to one of the hosts, Bobo, Squatches love bacon and they love to party. So of course I was hoping that the wedding dinner would involve pork products. Speaking of meat products, beware of any served by Alaskan Airlines (or really any airline.) Since a rather violent vomiting episode at the end of a ten hour flight on Swiss Air, I tend to pack granola bars and avoid all airplane food. My husband is more of a risk taker. After eating his tiny bag of trail mix he decided to buy a snack pack from the stewardess. The highlight of this purchase was a pack of salami. He was happy until I pointed out that I did not think greenish white was a normal color for meat. The stewardess apologized and exchanged his snack pack for another...and inside we found...more greenish white salami. We got a refund and had some crackers. I'll pack more granola bars next time.
We wanted to be close to where our friends lived and we weren't really interested in the space needle or watching people fling fish at Pike Place Market so we stayed in Snoqualmie at the Salish Lodge.
