Dive Series: Tacoma, Washington

On any visit to the Pacific Northwest there are few must stops for your eats. Here are just a few that I feel deserve to be mentioned in Travelin' About's Dive Series.



1. East-West Cafe (the best Thai food I've had in the United States)
2. Frisko Freeze (classic Tacoma burger joint)

Fishing off Vashon Island, Washington

The weather has been amazing in Washington. Mount Rainier kept constant watch over the Sound while we fished off Vashon Island. Being on the water all morning was a true treat.

On our approach into SeaTac, I had a spectacular birds eye view of

Kentucky Derby 2005, part I

82 days left until the 131st running of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in my hometown of Louisville, KY. As I eagerly await (as you should too!) the first Saturday of May to arrive, the mint to sprout, and the bourbon to be bottled in Loretto, it is equally important to keep a watchful eye on the Derby prep races. This will be my return to the Derby after too many years of being away in California never being able to get off work. Let the races begin!
