Sunny Washington

Yesterday was a layback kind of day. We took a drive to Anacortes to take the dogs on a walk in Washington Park and to look around at the different neighborhoods in the area. The fog was just lifting when we got to the park and the sun was a shining spotlight on this little white boat in the sound. It was really beautiful.



I really seem to be enjoying myself a lot while I am here. I am beginning to think that all the tales about the rainy, cloudy weather here is just some kind of reverse PR to keep all of us Californians from moving up here. Everything is so green and lush. I just can’t help feeling that this is somewhere I really could live.

Last night we went over to David and Amy’s where I cooked chicken tacos, rice and beans. I have been wanting Mexican food since we have been here, and the one thing I have discovered is that Washington does not have any good Mexican resturaunts. So, Amy was gracious enough to let me take over her kitchen to whip up chicken tacos. As you can see from the picture even Sienna enjoyed the refried black beans. By the end of dinner, she even had some in her ear.



Still having fun, DD

  1. LOL!! you are right the Mexican food is lousy here. Even Taco Bell can beat them. We ate at one and tasted like they just pulled it out of a Swanson Dinner Tin. LOL!! Aw!!! Sienna wears her beans very well. Cute!!!

  2. "Everything is so green and lush." No, those stories of rain and clouds aren't just reverse PR... 10 months of rain is why everything IS so green and lush!

    I love that area of Washington - Anacortes, Bellingham, Chuckanut drive, Whidby Island (and the mussels they grow there), Port Townsend and the ferry ride... We had to miss out on it this year (unexpected change of plans), so it's fun to read about it on your blog. :)
