Ulrika's parents are in town! Gösta has taken a bunch of pictures with his camera, but yesterday the memory was full, so I just snapped a bunch with my phone.
My pictures are from our visit to eastern Washington, where we stayed at the fantastic Sagecliffe Inn and Cave B Winery.
The Inn is adjacent to the Gorge Amphitheater, which was actually originally developed by the owners of Sagecliffe.
Apparently Dave Matthews stays here whenever he plays at the Gorge. Probably in the same cabin (pictured above) as we did. It is the most remote (despite faceing the rest of the resort), and affords the only northward view, up the Columbia River, towards Crescent Bar, WA (see below).
Along the way,
we stopped off
at the Ginko Petrified Forest,
near Vantage, WA.
The park sits
high above
the Columbia River,
and provides sweeping views
of the ancient basalt flats
exposed by the river.

Gösta is checking out
a speedboat racing a jet-ski.
On our way home, we also drove through the town of Quincy,
where this beautiful old building reminded me of every small town,
in the Rocky Mountain West,
that I've ever been to,
but specifically, Rock Springs, Wyoming.
