Mrs. Revlis.....or should I say the lovely and charming Ms. Silver?
Don't work for the bureau...but I should do tours...I have done about 100 seminars in Seattle, Vancouver, Portland, SanFran, Calgary and fell in love with that corner of the world. I have since returned to those general areas and other nearby regions...like lake louise, San Juan Islands, Mt. Hood etc etc etc....as soon as the EMU guy you are married to broke the news, my brain just started rattling off all these places you folks can go to. I can plan a lifetime of vacations in that region of N. America. In fact, I have a top five list for you and that husband of yours....
and once you folks are settled in, it should be skagit valley festival time.....and you can do a romantic weekend or day in LaConner.
But, before you leave this earth and I hope that isn't for a long long time...you must go to:
1) Lake Louise and the Canadian Rockies (one of the most beautiful places on earth) and the general area of Banff. You must stay at the Chateau Lake Louise....make that spouse spend some money!!!
2) Whistler Mountain...north of Vancouver (watch the traffic....construction for 2010 Olympics is underway)
3) Columbia River area
4) Mt. Ranier area
5) Mt Hood Area
6) Oregon coast line.
7) Mt. Baker area and Cascade mountains..
8) San Juan Islands very Anacortes Ferry
9) Vancouver Island (don't bring the busa)..go see buchart gardens.
10) Olympia National Park area.....
plus there is a ton of stuff to do in the Washington state area besides seattle, Mt Ranier, La Conner...etc...etc....
congrats on the job.... keep us posted....
