Amtrak Coast Starlight, in a Sleeper Car Bedroom
The overnight 14 Coast Starlight (Amtrak) from Los Angeles to Seattle.
--3 states
--1,377 miles
--36 hours
--29 stops (a few afford a chance for some fresh air, for a few minutes)
--incalculable jaw drops at the beauty seen from along the ocean coastline to the snowy mountain ranges and backdoor views of towns and cities.
I can't recommend this enough! What an experience! What a way to see the country! The whole ride was smooth, quiet, and tranquil. Whether you enjoy a book in the glass-domed car while sipping on some coffee, or nurse a beer through the passing majesty outside your window, you are rocked gently into a relaxation that is unlike any other. The staff was ever ready to accommodate needs and/or wants. Guest speakers rode along, regaling passengers with tales of the flora, fauna, and history of the areas. Fellow passengers were in equal states of awe and wonder, evidenced by the acknowledging head tilts complete with twinkling eyes and hearty grins. Childhood fancy was stirred together with an aged appreciation and I found that though we were moving northward, time had stood still.
Note: Yes...I have since learned to refrain from filming in portrait mode, when using a phone. ????
Note: Thank you, all, who have clarified that it's a Lounge Car featured in this video, not an actual Parlour Car. I did not intend to mislead anyone; during our ride, the staff and fellow passengers were calling it the Parlour Car, and I was at fault for following the flock in my understanding. Our train's Parlour Car must have been undergoing maintenance, at the time. I did find, however, the Lounge Car to be quite enjoyable. Nevertheless, I imagine riding with an official Parlour Car would enhance the experience, greatly. Thank you all, for clarifying this, for me and for others.
Note: for mobile device viewers, annotations don't appear on-screen. At the 2:28 mark, it should be noted that There is a traditional door on this bathroom; it's just not visible, here.

Visit Tri-Cities: The Heart of Washington Wine Country
The Tri-Cities, made up of the cities of Kennewick, Pasco, and Richland, lies at the heart of Washington States Wine Country. We are located in the hub of the Columbia Valley AVA (American Viticultural Area) where 99% of all of Washingtons wine grapes are grown. In fact, Benton County (home to Kennewick, Richland, Benton City, and Prosser) was recently named the largest grape growing region in the state of Washington. We truly offer visitors the opportunity to sample wines made from grapes grown in the area, a chance to roam through vineyards, and meet the winemakers and owners at more than 160 wineries within an hours drive. We have a number of wineries that offer eco-friendly wines, the first vineyard to be Certified Organic by Washington State Department of Agriculture, the oldest family-owned winery in the state sits in Pasco (also home to the Pacific Northwests largest corkscrew collection), and Washingtons first barrel caves were built on Red Mountain, just five minutes from Richland. There are great opportunities to experience the wineries during festivals throughout the year. Local wineries open up their doors to pair dark chocolate with their favorite red wine during Red Wine & Chocolate in February; visitors can preview and sample wineries straight from the barrels during Spring Barrel Tasting in April; and its always an experience to celebrate the bounty of harvest, see how wines are made, and participate in your very own grape stomp during Catch the Crush weekend in September. Most wineries are open year-round, offering free tastings to their visitors. And if they dont, most will waive the tasting fee with the purchase of wine.

A Taste of Yakima Valley
This is a video of our first impression of Yakima Valley. Just 120 miles outside of Seattle, Washington, this town has the best of both worlds. World-class outdoor activities, along with being a mecca for wine, beer and food, Yakima Valley has something for everyone.
We spent a week exploring the area and all we can say is wow. Yakima Valley is definitely an underrated destination in the U.S. and we don't think it will be for long.
This video is the highlights, featuring the beautiful wineries, the breathtaking hiking trails, and vistas of Mt Rainier, waterfalls, a stroll through the lavender fields and a river ride!
We cannot recommend a visit to Yakima Valley enough, it really is the best of nature and has all the luxuries of a big city, without the big city congestion.

Columbia Valley Unoaked Chardonnay Riesling - Cooper's Hawk March 2019 Wine of the Month
Cooper’s Hawk Unoaked Chardonnay and Riesling blend expresses the bright purity of fruit from Columbia Valley, the largest wine-growing region in Washington State.
When you consider Washington State, what weather comes to mind? Many people think rain, rain, and more rain, but in large swaths of the state that simply isn’t true. In fact, there are over 300 days of sun per year in the wine-growing region of Columbia Valley. The sun hits the grapes at an angle comparable to that in Northern Europe, which is situated on a similar latitude, making Washington one of the highest-latitude growing regions in the world.
Eastern Washington is actually so dry it is classified as a Continental Semi-Desert because the Olympic and Cascade Mountain ranges essentially block the rain clouds from moving in from the Pacific Ocean. This phenomenon is known as the Rain Shadow Effect and results in a mere 7 to 12 inches of rain falling on the Eastern Washington vineyards during the growing season. Still, the grapes find hydration through a very unique, abundant, and pristine source—underground aquifers fed by Canadian glaciers.
Just like in all growing regions, these elements have an impact on the wine, along with the soil and vineyard techniques. The environment fosters a long, consistent growing season with warm days and dry, cool nights in soils that are remarkably disease-resistant thanks to their sandy composure. Some of the best wine in the United States comes from Washington State, and we are proud to source this fruit. The Columbia Valley wine-growing and winemaking community comprises some of the country’s most progressive and hard-working individuals in the business, with a history dating back to the early 1800s.
Pure grapes come from a pure environment, and that’s what we found in Washington State’s Columbia Valley. The quality and composure of these vineyards come through as bright complexity and mouthwatering acidity. Enjoy well-developed white fruit flavors from the Chardonnay and light floral aromatics from the Riesling—the lack of oak treatment presents the fruit as crisp and delicate.
