For my birthday this year, I asked to drive up to the Skagit Valley to check out the tulips, then have my birthday dinner at a seafood restaurant near the marina in Anacortes. It was a perfect day for that drive, even though we didn't see many tulips! We really don't like to pay big …

Earlier this week, Hubby and I had a little getaway to LaConner, situated on the Swinomish Channel. It’s a long tidal channel northwest of Seattle. On the West side of the Channel is the Swinomish Indian Reservation, and on the West side is the picturesque town of LaConner. We go there often, as it’s only …
We have Ricochet friends who just moved from LosAngeles to Anacortes, and now that they both are up here, we scheduled lunch for yesterday, and included our other friend from Seattle. I decided to extend the lunch a couple of days, since I thought we were in need of a short break from home. Drive …
