Day 9, October 25th, Sunday

View from our room the morning of checkout. The tide was out at this time of day. We were excited it was clear for the drive to Seattle.


As we were driving toward the interstate we were stunned to see Mt. Baker covered in snow. It's the first time all week that it showed up so clearly and with so much snow. All the other days the top of it was in the clouds, and most days we weren't even sure which one was Mt. Baker.

We drove from our resort in Birch Bay north five miles to Blaine, hoping to find our favorite coffee and pastry shop open, but it was closed. This is a view of the bay at Blaine, which is right on the border. The town you see is actually in the US but the only way to get to it by land is to go thru the border check station.


The marina at Blaine. We must have seen thousands of boats on this trip, many of them sailboats.


On the interstate, heading to Seattle. I love the mist over the trees. It reminded me of the mist we see in our area over the rivers and streams.



By the time we got to Seattle it was raining steadily so no photo ops presented themselves. We had a nice dinner with a young lady friend at a sea food place called Elliott's Oyster House, then settled into our quaint little hotel for the evening. The next day was a short drive to airport, still in the rain, but a long travel day to reach home. End of story.
