We started Daniel's birthday by driving to Adam's house, where we ate the rest of the bagels we bought two days ago and Skyped with both sets of grandparents around Adam's online work meetings. We then left him to work and went to Snoqualmie Falls, hazy in smoke from nearby wildfires and perhaps therefore not very crowded -- warm and beautiful, we even saw a peregrine -- plus a stop in Salish Lodge, whose shop offered the closest I came to apples and honey this Rosh Hashanah.
Driving through hazy hills, we visited the Issaquah Fish Hatchery, where we saw salmon in and out of the fish ladder and herons and ducks in the river, then we came back to Daniel's house to play Beyond the Sun before we met up with Adam and Cahaya (Katherine was working late) to go to Petra for dinner (I had the mezza platter with hummus, dolmades, babaganouje, falafel, and lebneh, perfect), after which we came back to Daniel's house again for a few hands of Coup and leftover cake from brunch.
