Heather and I spent last weekend in Washington. We spent the night at McMenamins Olympic Club hotel & theater in Centralia, Washington. It is an interesting historical building with each room of the hotel commemorating a significant individual from the Club’s history including “Gentleman Train Robber” Roy Gardner who was apprehended there in 1921. Today the site has the typical McMenamins style and atmosphere while maintaining much of its history. The rest of Centralia left a bit to be desired as Heather had left me with the impression of it being more like Gurney Mills, IL.

I took a few pictures while we were there.

On Sunday we took advantage of the good weather and made the trip to Mt. St. Helens. It was an amazing site to see and also afforded us our first view of show since moving to the West coast from Milwaukee. We plan on returning in the summer since the closest observation center was closed due to seasonal weather.

I took a lot of pictures.
