Anniversary getaway at the Salish Lodge and Snoqualmie Falls
Our day at the Salish Lodge was a wonderful and relaxing one. Fortunately the weather and traffic were good and posed no challenge in getting up here. Here are some highlights:
- easy and swift drive up here -- as Sarah pointed out, there's no place around here out in he middle of nowhere
- took our first gander at the beautiful (and popular!) Snoqualmie Falls
- played a game of chess while waiting for our room (I won)
- checked into our room and had some truffles and a quick snack
- got our swimsuits on and headed to the spa for a soak and hot rock massage -- oh yeah, I could get used to those!
- decided to head to the Loft for some casual dining over room service -- good choice, too because the place is on the top floor and the host sat us at one of the two best tables with a view of the illuminated falls
- bundled up for a brief nighttime walk to see the falls all lit up (and so I could snap some photos)
- headed back to the room for a cozy fire, some sparkling wine, a soak in our two person jacuzzi tub, and some serious rest and relaxation
That pretty much sums it up. Imagine, a year ago today we were frantically trying to figure out how to reschedule our wedding around an ice storm. My vote is to do the sort of stuff like we just did to celebrate the day that could've been our anniversary day to counter the stress that was on this day in 2005. Hot rock massage, anyone?

Happy Anniversary!!! We went to Snoqualmie falls on Saturday. It is very impressive isn't it. We were only there for 5 minutes though because we quickly got soaked and cold. We were there just long enough to take some pictures. I hope your actual anniversary is as great as yesterday sounds.
