Hi!\u00a0 We have been absolutely loving Washington!\u00a0 We stayed for about a week in the Bellingham area, north of Seattle.\u00a0 The RV park was one of the best we’ve been to so far, and the weather has been perfect which helps too!\u00a0 We did so many fun things while in the area including a great hike on Mt. Baker.\u00a0 We started our hike at the end of a long national forest service road (about 12 miles), at 4400 feet in elevation.\u00a0 We hiked about 2.5 miles up, to about 6,000 feet in elevation.\u00a0 The views were awesome!\u00a0 As good as some of our views in Alaska.\u00a0 A great hike.<\/p>\n
We also took a ferry to Friday Harbor on San Juan Island.\u00a0 We walked onto the ferry, we didn’t take the truck.\u00a0 Gerry got to go, he loved the trip on the ferry.\u00a0 So many people to pet him and tell him how cute he is!\u00a0 You’ll notice in the pictures we have started using a “Gentle Leader” collar on him – it goes over his nose.\u00a0 So if he pulls on the leash, it pulls his nose, which he hates, so it stops him from pulling so much.\u00a0 He has gotten so big and strong he was doing damage to my arm and shoulder from pulling on the leash so much.\u00a0 We will be taking doggy manners training classes when we get back to Columbus!\u00a0 Friday Harbor was a very cute tourist town, we really enjoyed visiting it and enjoyed the ferry ride too.<\/p>\n
One day we took Gerry to doggy day care are spent the day touring Bellingham, Fairhaven (a super cute historic area in Bellingham) and drove Chuckanut Drive, an attraction in and of itself in the area.\u00a0 Beautiful drive, beautiful homes and a great little restaraunt too!\u00a0 The restaraunt looks right out onto Puget Sound and an oyster farm.\u00a0 So of course Steve had oysters!\u00a0 Wish I liked them, but, they are not for me!\u00a0 We also went to a Tea Room – first time I have been served tea with a cozy over the tea pot – loved it!<\/p>\n
We did another hike in the area, in a beautiful forest – the forests here are very thick with vegitation and moss.\u00a0 Like walking in an enchanted forest.\u00a0 All in all a great area to visit and we loved it.\u00a0 This was our first stop after the “Alaskan Adventure” and it felt good to be in an area with more “stuff” around.\u00a0 But still beautiful.\u00a0 I think we were ready for a little touristy activities and this filled the bill!<\/p>\n
And I have to mention the blackberries!\u00a0 They are everywhere – along the roads, along the trails, and our RV park had a large grassy area (great for running Gerry!) that was surrounded by wild blackberries.\u00a0 We picked to our hearts content, I made blackberry cobbler and a blackberry syrup we put on ice cream….Steve literally cannot walk past a bush without picking and eating!<\/p>\n
i’ll have another post soon about our trip on a ferry (RV and all!) to the Olympic Penninsula and our beach visits there.\u00a0 In the meantime, hope you enjoy the pictures of Mt. Baker, Bellingham, Fairhaven and Chuckanut Drive!<\/p>\n
