Pacific Northwest

Catching up... we've been in Washington state now for a couple weeks.  Driving cross-country, we've mostly avoided the interstates and bigger cities... finding bliss on the smaller two-lane highways.  What a great way to see the country.  The roads have been great and very scenic. After a short visit in Bellingham (just south of the Canadian border on the Puget Sound) we've spent the last week in a terrific RV Resort at Fidalgo Bay in Anacortes, WA (north of Seattle). What a great place! The only down side was that early in the mornings when the tide was out, man was it stinky! But other than that... very nice. I did manage to play a round of golf at the Similk Beach G.C. which was just 6 min's from the RV. Nice course, but the heavy air & elevation messed with my game. I couldn't get the ball to the green, under clubbing almost of my approach shots. The weather has been great here, high's in the low 80's & low's in the mid 50's. It's wonderful to sleep with the windows open for a change.

Working on my girlish figure, the rolls show how much

it's needed!!

The water was like glass this day. These are the cabins at the resort.

Wow - spotted a bald eagle

Bye!

We finally made it back to the cemetery near this little white church on the hill where Dad's parents are buried. It's a beautiful spot north of Mt Vernon (where Dad lived for a number of years) and very close to the spot where he grew up.  I spread Mom & Dad's ashes on his parent's graves.

Before we got to Anacortes, we visited my niece (Monica) and her family in Royal City in eastern Washington & man was it hot, 103 the first day & 108 the next. We stayed at the RV park which just happened to be at the golf course & of course I had to play a round. Debbie gave Monica her motorcycle leathers since we no longer have the Harley and they are thinking of buying one soon.  Looking hot, Monica! I gave my leathers to Monica's husband Trevis.

After we left Montana, we crossed northern Idaho staying a few days in a great RV park in Hayden, just north Coeur d'Alene.  Our space was very large and was a great place to get the pets outdoors for a little exercise.  

  

Little Willie is growing!  Here he is giving Jimi "what for".  Love those cats!

Giddy-up!
