  3. I didn't have any specific vacation photos from Washington (we had a few on our Alaska blog, but nothing that special), so I linked up 3 apple recipes since Washington is famous for apples. Idaho is going to be more challenging...either I need to dig out some OLD family photos (I am guessing I was about 8) or come up with a potato recipe! LOL! Thanks for the fun THEMED party!!
