Chuckanut Drive and Fairhaven - Monday May 23

The weather is - well, medium.  That means, cloudy with occasional rays of sun peeking through but no rain.  We had a big breakfast today - scrambled eggs and bacon.  Our plan is to do the Chuckanut Drive up to Fairhaven which is on the bay in south Bellingham.

Here are a few pictures of the scenery on Chuckanut Drive:

We printed out the directions and headed north.  We took I-5 most of the way and then you get off the freeway and head over to WA-11.  It was a lovely drive - not spectacular, but pleasant.  In Fairhaven we parked the car and browsed some of the shops until lunch time.  Still having an appetite for fish/seafood, we found our way to the Big Fat Fish Co.  It was very pleasant and we all found something interesting on the menu:  clam chowder which was fabulous, John had a salmon burger which was good but not great, Marilyn had a cheeseburger, Bob had a huge order of delicious mussels (he gave me a few to try) and I had a prawn pizza with cesar salad.

We took I-5 all the way instead of the scenic drive - once being enough - and had our usual relaxing evening of TV, wine, a little sandwich and Sequence - Marilyn and I skunked the boys tonight - 6 to 0.
