After Joe's encounter with them and generally not having a lot of luck finding someplace, we decided to leave and went south to the state park. We were afraid we wouldn't have internet, but we do.
So we're going to stay here two nights. We might move to one of the beach access sites tomorrow night. They'll be more expensive but we'll be close enough to the beach to go surfing.Oh and we rode our bike on the beach. That was super fun.

A weird ship we saw... If anyone knows what it is, or what it carries, let us know.
Sorry the photo is terrible. It was getting dark and it was really windy, so the tripod was shaking.
An old spot for a turret, built during the war apparently. There was a creepy tunnel-type building with some creepy little dark rooms too. No lights or windows in the building either. No signs around. Someone else told us what it was.
A beautiful view from a short hike we took.

The coast finally! We went surfing for five minutes.... Well, okay, it was longer than 5 minutes, but not much. The waves were pretty messy, but Joe stood up a few times and I caught some waves. The last wave I caught I rode almost all the way in to shore.
We're both hurting a bit from that today now to.... sore muscles..

We drove through Seattle today and stopped at a surf shop where we bough a board for me and a bag for the board as well as a sock for Joe's board (they didn't have another 9' bag). So that will help protect the boards when they're on the RV's roof.
We are parked at a campground in Grayland Beach State Park and it's pretty much full... seems nuts for a Monday. Hopefully it isn't like this all the way down the shore but I suppose that is possible this time of year.
We are pretty close to the beach, so our plan is to try some surfing this evening.
We'll see how it goes.-Miranda

So today, we got some horse isle work done, then went for a bike ride downtown. Bellingham has an awesome interurban trail system, so we were sort of following that and roads and went way past downtown, then tried to work our way back. Rod and Sara (we're staying in front of their house) were nice enough to give us a map of the city, which ended up coming in handy. We had dinner at a little Russian place that sells two things. They're a type of dumpling. One has meat in it, the other kind has potatoes. Then there's a curry type sauce that goes over them. So that was a good, cheap dinner, then we went to an ice cream place downtown and had some super good ice cream.
We're really liking this work, bike, eat, relax thing.
We biked 15 miles today.-Miranda

Today we went to an outdoor, classical concert which was quite nice. The weather has been beautiful. We decided we wanted to go for swim, so we biked to Lake Padden (steep uphill a good chunk of the way) then biked around the lake (2 miles) and went swimming. Joe decided we needed more exercise, so we swam across the lake and back also. The ride down the hill after swimming was fun though.
We went to the Skylark Cafe for dinner, which was very good. Got to sit outside in a little, pretty alley under a tree. Joe had a butternut squash lasagna which he said was very good. We got big ol' desserts from a nearby place then headed back to the RV. Biked a total of about 8 miles today.
