...and, did we see whales! Lots.
...unfortunately, it's like soccer...hard to capture the action
Guess we'll have to keep the memories in our heads.
We also learned a lot of interesting facts about these orcas
Rose garden in Bellingham
Beautiful sunset on our way back to our hotel
looking over Bellingham Bay
For some unknown reason....my jacket smelled like
dog poop...so, I had to do some laundry in the "dungeon"
under Johnny and Emily's house. And...after a delicious
meal of gormet tacos....
Johnny and Emily took us to this really cool place
where you could paint pieces of pottery. Then, our
projects will be glazed, and we will pick them up
on Monday. It was SO fun!!!
Talk about intensity! We had a time limit, because
the store was closing for the day.
Johnny and Em did a ring holder...I did a "Grandma"
snack plate. Can't wait to see them on Monday, after
they're glazed. After our creative efforts were done,
we "chilled out" at a really cool restaurant/wine bar
down the street. A musician was singing and playing
the guitar...old time, nostalgic kind of music...perfect to
cap off a great evening. Then, back to our hotel for
nightly adjustments, before our big day tomorrow...
WHALE WATCHING!!!! By the way...family...we
did some shopping today to set J & E up with supplies
for their famous raspberry jam! :-)
EMILY'S NEW SCHOOL
EMILY'S HOSPITAL...ST. JOSEPH'S
WHATCOM FALLS
Larrabee State Park...the beach...along Chuckanut Drive
As we were leaving for the airport....some people had to work!
Taylor and Joanna doing landscaping at Jack's office....
And, as they are still working, we are going to see the whales!!!!
We have reservations for Friday to see the real ones!
Clam chowder on the bay 
Scrumptious cherries from the farmers' market
On our evening walk...I always find the kitties!
There's a trail just a few steps from our hotel
that goes down by the bay, so we took a walk
this morning.
Johnny and Emily's house...they have the upstairs.
More later............................
There are 11 fields like this at the park...all being
used for adult soccer games on Tuesday night.
Mt. Baker in the background
My photography is poor, at best. I wanted to
get some action shots, but failed. Johnny is still
an amazing defender...doesn't let that ball get past
him! And, Emily, not ONLY the cutest girl out there
but played skillfully in 90 degree heat, 45 minute
halves, and no subs! Jack and I had the time of
our lives watching soocer again...didn't want it to
end. It was fun seeing Johnny pass the ball to Em
several times. :-)
