A Day in La Conner, WA

Thursday Jan 26, spent the day with my neighbor Else in La Conner, WA.  We really like day trips and Else seems to know all the good places to go!
I had heard of La Conner as the place with the quilt Museum . . . she didn't have to ask twice!!

We had lunch at the pub on the waterfront, then walked up and down the "promenade" much like one would do in Vegas!  Up one side and down the other.

The town is quaint and touristy, although it is still officially winter so things are a bit quieter.  It is also very artsy with lots of galleries and shops with amazing and unique gifts, jewellery & furniture.  

There was a yarn & wool shop that would have Judy Stiles drooling!  Even I was drooling and I'm not a knitter!!

We had a lovely day of sunshine and warmish temperatures.  Sunglasses were needed.

 The quilt museum is housed in an historical site, (it is not wheel chair friendly!) found us climbing the stairs to the three floors, where the quilters have special showings roughly for 3 months at a time.
