LEAVING WASHINGTON

WE STARTED PREPARING TO LEAVE WASHINGTON. WE HAD ACCEPTED A JOB MANAGING A PUMPKIN LOT IN AGOURA HILLS, CALIFORNIA THAT STARTS THE FIFTH OF OCTOBER  AND WE WERE APPROXIMATELY 1200 MILES AWAY.  WHILE DRIVING OVER TO THE FERRY YESTERDAY, WE NOTICED A SIGN THAT SAID BAINBRIDGE ISLAND ACQUATIC CENTER.

 

I LOOKED IT UP ONLINE AND FOUND OUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A MEMBER .....ANYONE IS WELCOME. 

 WE HAVE BEEN WANTING TO GET IN A HOT TUB ALL SUMMER. IT WAS  PERFECT DAY FOR HOT TUBING.....RAINY, COOL AND CLOUDY.

 SO, BEFORE DOING  ANYTHING ELSE,  WE WENT HOT TUBING. WE HAVE OUR PRIORITIES IN THE RIGHT ORDER!!   WHEN WE CAME OUT,  WE NOTICED A DRUG STORE ADVERTISING FLU SHOTS.  THIS WOULD PROBABLY BE OUR LAST CHANCE TO  GET OURS. WE STOPPED BY A GROCERY STORE AND THEN HEADED FOR HOME  TO TAKE A SHORT REST. MAGGIE AND MARLEE WERE FULL OF ENERGY AND NEEDED TO GET SOME EXERCISE. I  HAVE AN APP ON MY PHONE THAT SHOWS THE DOG PARKS IN THE AREA, WE FOUND ONE AND TOOK THE DOGS TO PLAY. IT WAS A NICE PARK.
THE NEXT DAY WE DROVE OVER TO SILVERDALE,  TO A PET SMART AND HAD MAGGIE AND MARLEE'S NAILS TRIMMED, AND THEN HAD LUNCH AT OLIVE GARDEN. WE  HEARD A WEATHER REPORT,   THERE WAS RAIN FORECAST FOR THIS AREA FOR THE NEXT 6 DAYS......IT WAS DEFINITELY  TIME TO GO!!! IT WAS TOO WINDY TO LEAVE THE NEXT DAY, SO  WE  STAYED  ONE MORE DAY.   OUR LAST DAY IN WASHINGTON  WAS A CLOUDY, COOL,   WINDY DAY. SO, FINALLY,  ON SUNDAY, SEPTEMER 28 AFTER BEING  IN WASHINGTON STATE  FOR MORE THAN FIVE MONTHS, WE  LEFT WASHINGTON IN THE RAIN.

 

WE WERE IN SEARCH OF SUNSHINE!!! WE HAD RESERVATIONS AT SEVEN FEATHERS RV RESORT IN CANYONVILLE, OREGON, A FIVE STAR  RESORT.
