Trip to Washington





During the week of March 7th through the 13th Dani and I embarked on our anniversary trip to Washington. By this time everyone should know this is where I served my mission thus why we choose this location. It was a great trip. WE had a chance to visit 4 of my areas. These were Lynnwood, Harbour Pointe, Camano Island and Bellingham
The trip there was very exciting though. We spent Saturday, and some of Sunday in Salt Lake where we ate a Rodizio Grill with Sean, Maggie, and Ian. Since It is a 19 hour dirve to washington we decided in the end to fly which happened to be Dani's first time and she did well with it. She never got sick just felt weird due to gain of altitude. On the way back she felt better though. Once we arrived in Seattle we got a rental car that was a 09 Toyota Corola Sport and it was a nice car. On our way to Bellingham on Monday it was actually starting to snow. Nothing like here though. Once we almost were to Bellingham we took a picture and in the picture a car to the side got impatient with the slow moving traffic proceeded to pass us and lost control into a guard rail, this was one of 130 accidents in the area that day when there was only less than an 8th of an inch accumulation on the road. Idiots!
Much of our time was up in the northern areas ( Camano, and Bellingham). This is where we able to go to the beach and take pictures and enjoy a semi senic view. The beaches there aren't what it is everywhere else. They are mainly composed of rock and shells. We still enjoyed it though and got some pictures. We also were able to enjoy mall shopping, bowling, and watching movies such as "Paul Blart: Mall Cop". We did drive through the other areas Lynnwood,and Harbour Pointe, but we didn't spend much time there just enjoyed the beauty of the areas. In the end we got home tired but enjoyed every minute of it.
