Our first stop this morning was the Jimi Hendrix memorial, which was in a cemetery near our motel.
It was covered in kisses and someone had left some lavender chocolates for him.
Afterwards we drove through the woods to North Bend, the town where Twin Peaks was filmed.
We stopped for breakfast at Twede's Cafe which was covered in Twin Peaks memorabilia and sold Twin Peaks frisbees.
Of course I had to order the Twin Peaks cherry pie and a 'damn fine cup of coffee'.
We then went to see The Big Log in Snoqualmie. A log so big that it even has it's own house!
Luckily for Tom, it was right next to the Northwest Railway Museum which was free to look around and had a huge variety of trains to jump on and explore.
Luckily for Bruce, the museum was right next to a Taphouse & Brewery where we ordered a sample platter of all their ales.
I tried their home-brewed root beer which had a sad face. The brewery runs a Geeks Who Drink event once a week which sounds fun.
We then stopped off to see the Snoqualmie Falls which were also featured in Twin Peaks.
They were gigantic and let off a huge amount of spray as they crashed in to the water.
We drove past a coffee shop in a building shaped like a teapot which looked cute but after Googling it we found out that the waitresses wear bikinis and break the law for tips.
When we saw a sign on the motorway pointing for Fife, we knew we had to follow it and check out what the Washington version of our home county was like.
There was a sign for Norman Bates Motel but the motel was long gone. I'm kind of glad, otherwise I'd have been tempted to stay here.
Across the road from the hotel was the Pick-Quick Drive In which had a huge queue for burgers and shakes. We figured the food must be good if it was worth the wait and joined the queue.
I ordered a veggie burger and peanut butter milkshake.
We then went for cocktails in a bar shaped like a lighthouse in Des Moines.
I had just started sipping my second margarita when the health department came in and announced they were shutting the place down. It felt like watching a Gordon Ramsay show but it turned out that there was a problem with the water in the area and all the bars were being shut down.
We retreated to Dave's Diner next to our hotel where we spent the rest of the evening drinking cocktails.
