Wednesday, September 1:
We left Riverside State Park in Spokane at 6:45 am. We have a long drive today to reach Bellingham this afternoon. Most of today we will be westbound on the 90, then north on the 5…
We passed a few lovely farms…
And we stopped where there was nothing green as far as the eye could see…
This area was designated as a solar and wind energy conservation area, but we didn’t see any solar installations…
We did see the Columbia River cutting through a deep gorge…
At the bottom of the gorge we crossed over a marvelous bridge…
We were shortly back into the green forests…
We arrived in Bellingham at the home of my brother…
My brother and his wife are big fans of our cocktail book. In fact, they presented us with the gift of two commemorative copies of the book…
They demonstrated that they have all the proper equipment to use the book…
We enjoyed happy hours and dinner on the view deck…
And we watched the sunset over the Bellingham Bay and Lummi Island…
Thursday, September 2:
We took a drive today to enjoy a short walk in the woods…
We soon found ourselves on a rocky beach at Point Whitehorn Park…
We drove into Birch Bay and stopped for a lunch of grilled oysters. (Lynda had fish tacos…)
After lunch we returned home and again enjoyed happy hours and dinner on the deck…
Friday, September 3:
We had time for one quick walk along the boardwalk in Fairhaven…
Then it was time to head south again…
An enjoyable time was had by all…
