Marcia has a beautiful serene place on the water. She is in an inlet and the tide goes out and come in. It did both while we were there visiting and eating.
Google said it would take 4 hours and 15 minutes to get there. Ha. Maybe on a good day when there is no traffic and no little kids in the car. Took seven hours in each direction with all the potty stops, belt the seat belt back up stops and meals.
On the way we took a detour due to an accident. Looked horrible when we came back by it. Well turns out that accident had happened much earlier in the day and was horrible. Someone shot some people on the freeway. One guy in that car survived but it created a traffic jam. Then a driver of a big rock rig with an extra trailer cut through the medium and collided with like 13 cars that were stopped because of the shooting. All we saw was a burnt out car, a damaged car and the turned over dump truck with trailer.
We arrived at Marcia and Roger's house just in time to eat. They had a salmon bake and bbqed burgers and dogs. People brought potluck food. Except for us. We just crashed the party.
It took awhile to start getting my dad's cousins all worked out. By the end of the night we had it pretty well down. We didn't even start on the next generation. It is a large clan up there in Bellingham.
The littles made friends and played in the water. They started to learn about tether ball. They got muddy and mucky and wore out. Once they fell asleep they didn't move all night. Yes. Score.
