This is such a great movie.  It comes in different "seasons" and has been on BYU tv

The same writer as Anne of Green Gables which makes it  a wonderful story.

Anniversary trip to Seattle/Leavenworth

Well, we are home and here are a few pictures.  We stayed at the Fairfield Inn in Bellevue which was a super nice motel.  It will be a favorite to return to next time I think.
A lot of nice ammenities.  Saturday morning we drove to the Piers and took  a ferry to
Bainbridge Island.   There we drove a loop around the island and stopped at Poulsbo and
had lunch at Azteca.  They have a section of town that is down by the water with tons of
cute little quaint shops, a nice park to relax in and marina with tons of sailboats.  The
weather was like summer.  We felt very fortunate to have blue sky and sunshine in Seattle.
We drove that evening to mukilteo and happened to hit the traffic heading for the ferry.ugh!
Ivars is right by the dock.  Mindy and Andy will remember eating at Ivars there on our
trip to a band competition.  Stayed the night in Everett which is only about 10 minutes away.
We attended  Church in Everett this morning and then headed for Leavenworth.  We
spent the afternoon there just walking around, eating lunch and taking a carriage ride.
Arrived home about 7 pm and that was our weekend.   It was great.

Front of Fairfield Motel in Bellevue.  I took this to show the flowers in bloom.  Seattle is
about a month ahead of Spokane.  Blossoms and flowers everywhere.

Ivar's at Mukilteo

Wooden carp fish.  In 2003 the waves were so big it destroyed the ocean side of the restaurant and this fish got lost.  Now he is inside Ivars and the place has been
restored and inlarged.  We had a wonderful meal and fun time there.

Ferry trip to Bainbridge Island

The sky was beautiful blue and the temperature was about 55.  We took the ferry to Bainbridge Island, drove a loop on the Island and stopped at Poulsbo for lunch at Azteca.
There are lots of cute little shops and a nice marina and park.  Look at the mountains
in the background with snow on.  Those are the Olympic Mountains

Leavenworth Carriage Ride

On our way home we drove to Leavenworth to spend the afternoon.  We had lunch at a little cafe, a gingerbread cookie at the Gingerbread Bakery and then took a carriage ride.  It was
very nice weather and parking was hard to come by even in March.
