Me Likey!

An evening of patience during one of the few electrical storms we get each year paid off this time as I got come cloud to cloud lightning streaking in the skies above one of our most beloved and recognizable landmarks the Ed Hendler Bridge or more affectionately referred to as "the cable bridge".

Hockey Season it coming soon to a rink near you!

It's almost hockey season kids! I have grown to really enjoy the game after watching my son play for almost 10 years and following our local Major Junior team (the Tri-City Americans) rise and fall and rise again with each passing season. Its hard not to love the game once you have given yourself a chance to understand it!

Here is some --> Hockey 101

Mt Saint Helens

So this was the first time I had ever been to the Mt Saint Helens Johnston Ridge Observatory, we were in the area for a soccer tournament and had time for a quick trip between soccer games.

I found the facility itself to be a neat design built into the hill side with an absolutely incredible view of Mt. Saint Helens, but my trip there was a bit abbreviated and kinda reminded me of the Speed Zoo scene from the movie 'True Crime' with Clint Eastwood.

We had time to check out the view, then scamper back down for a short movie on the mountain and the eruption and the damage it caused and then a brief cruise through the interpretive center hitting a couple highlights on the way out and time for a group photo before heading back to the car and back to the motel for some rest before the next game.

The image is from the theater which shows a movie and when done has some curtains the open up for a spectacular window view!!

Sweet!
