I'm going to try to talk my husband into going to Washington State for a week this spring. I thought I'd look up what was going on in Washington. I found this:
The National Lentil Festival is an annual festival in Pullman, Washington.
Each year, the citizens of Pullman congregate to enjoy, celebrate, and revel at The National Lentil Festival, a food festival honoring the lentil.

I can see it gets pretty exciting in Washington.
If you don't like lentils then you may like rhubarb. I do.
Spokane, Washington hosts the Hoopfest. It does sound like a lot of fun if you like basketball.
Last year they had 27,865 players. They put hoops up all over town.
Truthfully, this is where I want to go:
The Columbia River Gorge.
Just taking a drive through the Columbia River Gorge is an experience in itself as you will be in awe of this spectacular geological wonder. The Columbia River is the second largest river in North America, starting in northern Idaho and southeastern British Columbia, and traveling over 1,200 miles to the ocean. Through millenniums of geologic events, waterfalls have found their home in the Columbia River Gorge. A visit to the area is not complete without a visit to the breathtaking waterfalls.

The Gorge looks beautiful!
Washington looks like so much fun to me, there's so much to do that I never knew about!
Good plan :)
That's a superbly beautiful destination, even if you don't like rhubarb~
I'm with you, Belle! I love to eat lentils and I also eat rhubarb. Basketball was my favorite sport growing up. However, if I was traveling south of the border to Washington State, I would much prefer the natural scenic wonders of the river and the spectacular falls. I hope you get to go there this spring and take lots of pictures of your own to post on the blog.
If they have good rhubarb pie at the festival I would make the trip just for that, but the gorge looks wonderful too.
I like the food - the place looks lovely and I would love to go - but it is sooo far!
I have a friend who lives in Washington State. I'm supposed to go visit him in the summer. I'm super excited! I hate Rhubarb but love lentils! lol
Not keen on Lentils, not for the taste but because of the long cooking times, Rhubarb though is very nice...not that we can buy it here. If you want to eat it you have to grow it yourself
Now let's see, lentils or waterfalls, rhubarb or The Columbia River Gorge, hoops or breathtaking beauty? Yes it is a real coin toss.
Well, I think I would need something more than a lentil festival to tempt me to go to a place!! Hee hee! That Gorge looks magnificent, and I hope your hubby is up for going on that trip, which I'm sure would be wonderful.
The activities are very interesting, but the scenery looks beautiful I hope that you get to go.
Happy Valentine's Day to you and your loved ones from all of us in our family.
Hi everybody and thanks for visiting! We have been showing the house almost every day so I haven't had much time to go online. If we go to Washington, I'll be sure and take lots of pics.
I like lentils and grow rhubarb in my garden, but those scenic pictures are definitely the big seller. I hope your husband thinks so, too. It would be a great trip.
oh, I hope you go, and bring back lots of photos and tales of your adventures! :D
The Columbia River Gorge looks beautiful!
I didn't know there was a Rhubarb day.
I was in Washington state last in 1970 as I returned from Vietnam. It is a beautiful state and hope you get to spend some time there.
Dearest Belle,
I feel SO happy if you get to go, my friend. Please have fun and looking forward to seeing the report♡♡♡
Thank you for these information.
Sending you lots of love and hugs from Japan, xoxo Miyako*
Hi everyone and thanks for dropping by and commenting. If we go I will definitely take pictures and post them.
You are so right! That is a powerful and beautiful river.
I used to live right across the road from a huge rhubarb field. My Grammy used to know about a 100 different things to do with it. Her best though was rhubarb pie! It was so good.
