Wind blew all night. Still windy this morning but bright sun and crystal clear.  This is the view in back of carbus:

North to the Columbia River then east to the Tri-cities area.

Filled the carbus at Costco and purchased a couple of things.  Then off to visit with good friends.  Kathy showed us a very nice river path/trail and we took a nice walk along the Columbia River.

We were then treated to a visit to the local museum which currently has much of it devoted to the development of nuclear energy and weapons which was a major part of this areas history.  The museum also has a wonderful hands-on science room much like the Exploratorium in San Francisco.  Much smaller obviously but very well done. 

Nice dinner and conversation and then off to our “house” for the night.
