It was time to hop across “the pond” for a family visit in Bellingham, WA. While there we went back up Mt Baker, the local volcano and a prominent landmark, to see the autumn colours. 
When we were last there it was winter and the snow cover meant the road access finished at the ski lodges.
This time the road was open all the way to the top car park and from there we did the short climb up Table Mountain. (see more pictures)
October 2006 ... contrasted to ... February 2005
We also popped across the border into Canada to re-visit Minter Gardens. We had hoped that the autumn colours might be in evidence but were just a bit early to see the Maples and Acers in all their autumn splendour. (see more pictures)
Totally non-dependant on the season was the Seattle Museum of Flight: a place one could clearly spend days fully absorbing all the exhibits. We only had hours but enjoyed all we saw regardless.
All too soon our time in Washington was over 
and it was time to rush to the departure gate.
