I'm back from what ended up less a vacation and more of a very expensive tour of Washington State gastronomy.

Not complaining. I had some of the best food in my life.

Cuisines on this trip:

Seafood at Duke's on Lake Union in Seattle

Japanese

- Sushi at I Love Sushi on Lake Union in Seattle

- Dumplings at The Dough Zone in Downtown Seattle

Italian at Serafina on Lake Union in Seattle

German

- Andreas Keller in Leavenworth

- Ludwing's in Leavenworth

Indian at Karma in Spokane

All of this food was top notch and should not be missed if you are anywhere close to these places.
