Friday, May 17, 2013 (Maryhill, WA)

We had a leisurely morning, having breakfast and deciding what to do today. In looking at the weather forecast, we decided to visit the Maryhill Museum. We have driven through Maryhill many times when travelling to see the kids in Marysville or Maple Valley, Washington. We used to make it our "potty" rest stop and it was a good place to stretch our legs. Beings that we were always trying to either get somewhere or were heading home, we had never stopped to check out the local sites.

In all honesty, I thought that the Maryhill museum was actually a home and would be more of a tour type venue, little did I know that it was an art museum. So we got our art culture for awhile. I must say at first it was pretty interesting, but they had so much to see, that after about an hour, it was sensory overload for me. My favorites were the main entry level and the royal section. I think I liked that best because they were items that people in the not too distant past had actually used. I also enjoyed the outdoor sculptures. Here are a few pics.

After the Maryhill Museum, we went down the road and visited the Maryhill Winery. I did a tasting and ended up getting a nice bottle of Reisling. The last item on the agenda for today was to visit the Stonehedge War Memorial. That was pretty interesting. That Samuel Hill must have been quite the interesting fellow in his lifetime.

We stopped at a local fruit stand and got some fresh strawberries and asparagus, yummy. We had a nice relaxing dinner outside. The park is full this weekend. They are having some sort of RV Club rally with all these itsy bitsy trailers, i.e. Scamp and Casita are two of the models that come to mind. We did our usual walk around the campground checking out the different RV’s. We still like ours the best. =)
