For our first Labor Day weekend in the Pacific Northwest we headed to Canada with my in-laws. There was no way I was fighting the Seattle traffic during Bumbershoot so it seemed best to head the opposite direction and across the border for a day in Vancouver.

Woodinville Whiskey Company
Although we've been to Woodinville a couple of times, we hadn't gotten around to popping in the Woodinville Whiskey Company for a distillery tour.
