Day Trip Adventures: Camano Island and Bellingham

I finished work at 1pm on Saturday the other week, I quickly ran out of the house, jumped in the car, picked up a friend along the way and we took off to Camano Island, just an hour's drive from Seattle. We trekked around the island on a beautiful sunny afternoon, snapping pictures and enjoying the views. A story in pictures: 

After enjoying the nature and sunshine on Camano Island, I suggested that we go a bit further afield and have dinner in Bellingham - another hour north of where we were. My friend Dora agreed, so we took off and got there at 6.30 (although with the dark it felt like a lot later!).

We ate dinner in a Cajun style restaurant - New Orleans, Louisiana here I come!

marinated barbeque chicken Po'boy - whatever that means.

Rocket!

 We had a great time enjoying the gastronomical delights of Bellingham, and the Christmas lights. I had heard that Ryan Stiles from Whose Line Is It Anyway? owns a comedy club in Bellingham - we tried to get tickets but they were sold out! What a shame! We ate cupcakes to make up for it.

What night could be complete without a cupcake?

It was a really great afternoon, in fact, it was quite crazy to think we fitted all that in when we only left in the afternoon and it gets dark soooo early! Thank you Lord for a wonderful time!
