Arrrived in Sedro Woolley, WA

We followed the coast of Oregon through about half the state, then due to it being the beginning of Memorial Day weekend, we had to move inland to find an RV park with a vacancy. As we traveled east from the coast, we saw more versions of RVs than we have seen on the trip, all heading for the coast. It is too cool for swimming, but we saw people laying out in the sun. I guess that if you live in the north, you take what you can get and enjoy it. We came to Interstate 5 at Eugene, OR a bit before dark and found a Good Sam RV Park. The office was closed but they had some vacant, non reserved spots so we stayed. This was the first campground we visited that offered a Continental Breakfast the next morning. Then we took I-5 north to Washington. We drove through Seattle, and David was surprised to see that the Space Needle is not the tallest place in the city as several other buildings are now taller and much larger. We plan to go back to visit Seattle, maybe on Thursday, and have visited several places in the area that my cousin Janet has showed us, which were all fascinating and made great photos which I will put up. On one beach made of rocks, there were rock examples of most of the granite counter tops I have seen in showrooms. I was able to put a few small samples in my shirt pocket, but removing rocks was not allowed. I put some photos on the Net of the volcanic rocks there.
We visited a quaint little restaurant on the bay and they had a sign in the window that they had fresh mussels. We shared 2 pounds of them and a few grilled oysters. The bay view was a great backdrop for a tasty unusual meal. Then we drove a bit further and Janet pointed out the Mussel farms in the water in the bay, so they grow their own fresh mussels for the area.

We are now trying to decide how to proceed with the trip as there are ferry rides from various points in this country and in Canada to make the trip shorter and easier, however budgets will figure into the final decision also. My next entry will probably be as we proceed by whatever method we come up with in the next few days.
