Back from Salish Lodge!
We're back from Salish Lodge at Snoqualmie Falls, where Tim and I spent two days to celebrate our first anniversary! Ok, technically our anniversary isn't until August 30th, but the timing worked out better this way :-) It was perfect - very relaxing. We both had massages at the spa, and made ample use of their therapeutic pools, went hiking down to the base of the falls, ate scrumptious food at the restaurant, and relaxed in our room in front of a crackling fire, with the roar of the falls audible in the background. All in all, a very very nice way to celebrate our first anniversary!
Highlights: The huge jetted tub and fireplace in the room; the balcony overlooking the river; falling asleep to the sound of the falls in the background; the absolutely amazing dinner we had in their main dining room our 2nd night; and the hike down to the base of the falls and back.
Lowlights: The older couple at the table directly behind Tim during lunch who were clearly there for a romantic getaway, who kept noisy-kissing (you know - that saliva-sucking kissing sound that totally grosses you out) and groping each other (she was practically sitting in his lap, and he had his hand up her pantleg the whole time while she massaged his thigh and would lean forward so her boob would brush against his arm). Get a room already. That's what we did! Besides, I was trying to eat.
Heh ;-) Anyway - it was a wonderful little escape. Here are the pictures!.
