National Geographic Sea Lion anchored at the serene confluence of the Snake and Columbia Rivers. After a grounding and relaxing stretch class, guests departed on Zodiacs to Sacajawea State Park where they boarded buses to Walla Walla. One group visited 7-Hills Vinyard while the other went to Whitman Mission National Historic Site. Everyone came together for lunch at 7-Hills Winery in downtown Walla Walla, which included local wine and a tour of the wine making process.
Guests spent the afternoon wine tasting and shopping downtown before returning to Sacajawea State Park where some guests visited the Sacajawea Interpretive Center and several story circles from one of Maya Lin’s installations of the Confluence Project commissioned in 2010.
Guests returned onboard to enjoy cocktail hour, recap, and dinner followed by the film “Sagebrush Cowboys” shown in the lounge.
