The shops were mostly knick knack shops and probably not something I'd go into anyway even if it were open. It kind of gave me Diagon Alley from Harry Potter vibes. It only took us a couple minutes to walk through and reached the main strip of "Chinatown" - more like "China Block". It was really small and only a few shops and restaurants were open. Maybe my experience of Fan Tan Alley would've been more positive if I came earlier in the day?

His taste in art by San Juan Islands artists is eclectic -- inspiring, humorous, ironic, abstract, representational -- in a range of media. The house reflects his own craftsmanship in construction and decoration, and grew from its origins as a cabin to a mansion of many rooms, soaring ceilings, windowed walls, and outdoor stairways. Leo's folly is the grotto, which he continues to work on after 17 years. Wine also is his passion, and his wine room has patterned walls made of used corks. Altogether, a wonderful tour.

So, I've avoided going to "that one trestle" near Shelton, WA that has no trespassing signs and…read moresuch because I admit I don't want to risk getting arrested. Although, I know a lot of people still go there and don't get arrested but I don't want to change it. So I found out this trestle was easy to access and offered a nice hike. It really was a great hike. Not too steep, not too easy, a little dirty, a great view of a waterfall, and the quiet of the outdoors. There weren't many people on the trail when I went which made the hike even more pleasant. I think it was like 2-3 miles before I reached the trestle and although the trestle itself is pretty impressive, the view of the surrounding greenery was just as impressive. You're allowed to walk on the trestle. Of course, mind your step as there are no side rails or anything to prevent you from falling off or through the railroad slats. I did see several people just sitting and having a picnic so it's a great place to relax. One tip, when you walk through the tunnel that goes underneath the highway, you can keep walking straight for about 1/2 a mile to see the waterfall. Also, if you don't care about the waterfall, turn to the left as you exit the tunnel and walk up to the small parking lot. Then turn and walk toward the highway but don't go out on the highway. There is a small walkway that leads over the tunnel to the start of the trail that leads to the trestle. It'll say you from having to climb up a very steep rock face.

Completely. Fucking. Amazing…read more There are cows, pigs, chickens, rabbits, horses, cats, owls, ducks and more in this 100+ year old barn. The massive 1200lb Nutmeg greets you near the front, as do the several feral cats (some blind), and the spotted barn owl. Depending when you visit, sometimes you are able to feed cows potatoes with your hands (it's awesome, but very, very slimy), or feed baby cows (as young as 1 week old) from a bottle. They suckle on your fingers/clothes/anything you put near them. This is an active dairy farm, and they have a lot of education about how dairy farms work, which is also nice to hear about. They also give military ID discounts, which I think is pretty awesome since I have one :) The bad news is that they're only open to the public in April (unless you arrange a special group trip). This year, I'm not even going to the Tulip Festival to see the tulips.. I'm going to Cowtown. Seriously. There aren't words I can put into a review to give you an idea of how much I love this place, except to say.. if I were to die today and there was some sort of Heaven (and I mistakenly got in..), it'd be Cowtown.
