La Conner Day Trip

“The road of life twists and turns and no two directions are ever the same. Yet our lessons come from the journey, not the destination.” Don Wlliams, Jr.

I took an opportunity this week to take a day trip up La Conner. It's a nice waterfront town with boutiques, galleries, restaurants, inns. And, There is the Museum of Northwest Art and the Quilt and Textile Museum.

I did a little browsing, but I spent most of the time at the waterfront along with some other people watching the heron on the dock. and boats going by.

After the visit, I stopped at a wonderful roadside stand, Snow Goose Produce, in fir island in skagit valley. They're known for their very large ("immodest") ice creams in home made waffle cones as well as produce, cheese, and other local products. Additonally, they prove themselves to be good global citizens caring items from cambodia that support the humanitarian organization C.A.R.E.

It's for this soul to get a change of scenery though beauty is everywhere.
