Museum of History and Industry: Part 1

Located in the South Lake Union neighbourhood of Seattle, the Museum of History and Industry (or MOHAI) is one incredible place to spend an afternoon. The museum is inside the beautiful Naval Reserve Armory that was constructed in World War II, and is surrounded by a picturesque marina. 

Exhibits here span everything from the World's Fair in Seattle to the growth and development of the Pacific Northwest. The presentation was top notch at MOHAI, and there were tons of interactive exhibits that kept us curious the whole way through. As you can imagine, you could spend hours exploring this place. It's certainly worth checking out if you have the time. 

Frank Slide at Turtle Mountain

It was in 1903 that this rock slide from Turtle Mountain hit the town of Frank. If you've ever driven through the Crowsnest Pass in Alberta you'll have seen the massive boulders that cover the area, pretty much exactly as they did 110 years ago. We stopped at the interpretive centre to have a short look around before continuing south on our road trip. It's an amazing area, and the debris field is pretty staggering.
