After a long day exploring Mount Ranier National Park last week we descended out of the park into the little town of Ashford, Washington to eat at the Copper Creek Inn. A small roadhouse that really serves good food to the hungry and tired. Sweetie had zeroed in on the blackberry pie while doing research the day before. It was as good as advertised. She ate it before I could take a picture of it.
Plus, being from Oklahoma we are always in continual amazement at how many people actually keep their windows open. Ours in Oklahoma are buttoned up from March to October.
Of course what I liked was the stick alphabet on the outside of the building.
I like finding these neat restaurants while traveling. The stick sign is neat. Great post, thanks for sharing.
That sounds like a great vacation. I’m going to check this place out – and that blackberry pie – the next time we’re in Seattle.
I’m so glad you found so many delightful places and things on your trip to Seattle! I continue to find them everyday ever since I moved here!! Love your captures for the day!!
Blackberry pie sounds good to me right now! Our windows are pretty much closed during that time too.
Eord of mouth advertising will likely make that restaurant busier still. Blackberry pie sounds scrumptious!
May I ask why you keep your windows closed from March to October. Ohoh, I’ve just had a thought, because you need air conditioning? Possibly I’m wrong. I don’t open my windows too often simply because I like to keep the warmth in:-)
As I am looking at your posts I am wondering what it would have been like if our paths had crossed. We beat you all by such a short. time. My son took Bud and me to stay at the old hotel at Mt. Ranier back before he married…some 15 years ago. Since then it has been completely redone and i know it must be even more beautiful. We did not visit the Copper Creek Inn, but it looks so appealing from your pictures. I hope you all continue to have a wonderful trip and great weather. genie
@LeedsLass – Bingo, here in Tulsa we keep the windows shut because of the heat and humidity. Today, it was about 105F outside!!
Sorry that your wife ate the blackberry pie before you had time to take a picture of it. You know of course that the simple solution of this is to quickly order a second piece and take a picture of it before you eat it. Problem solved.
If it’s red, rustic and a restaurant, you know the food has to be good. Looks like you had a great vacation. Like your wife, I would have had the blackberry pie eaten before anyone could photograph it too.
Very artistic. Visiting from Ruby Tuesday.
My Ruby post.
Have a great week ahead!
Blackberry pie…..making me drool. And homesick for purpled fingers and tongue picking PNW blackberries.
Great photos. I like the alphabet stick!
