Washington Trip 8/18/2012 - Day 1 Part 2


Deception Pass to Bellingham via Chuckanut Drive and then scenic spots.

So I did not capture the drive up Chuckanut because it was too scary to take pictures. You see, it was the second day of the RSVP, The Ride Seattle to Vancouver and Party. 1,400 bicyclists were on the two lane highway with little bike lane. Many of them were struggling just to stay on their bikes and swerving into traffic. It was all very harrowing.

Anyway, when we got to the hotel in Bellingham there were backpacks behind the counter with numbers. The bicyclists were staying at out hotel! So we left the hotel to go to Whatcom Falls.

I love this city park. I think it is so pretty! 






We went for a pretty long walk through the park. 






There is a hatchery at the park. 

And fish in the hatchery. 

So we left the park for The Oyster Bar back on Chuckanut. It was way further out than we remembered and we ended up wandering around a bit but we got there in plenty of time.

There were seats outside but too cold out for me.


Great food. Very expensive. I had oysters for the first time. Jerry had swordfish. 


We headed back to the hotel. Ran out to the grocery store for dessert and I took a bath, in the hotel's retro pink bathroom!
Next up -- Day 2!
