We made the 3 hour trip up to Blaine, Washington, which is just 10 miles south of the Canadian border. The route west on I-90 into Seattle was beautiful--more mountain canyon passes, with steep pine-covered canyon mountain sides on either side of the road. When we hit Seattle, and started heading north, things flattened out. And, of course civilization comes with lots of traffic.
This is the first of many Thousand Trails RV campgrounds we are staying at. Since we are now members, we can stay here for "free". It is like a parking lot, but with full hookup, laundry, swimming pool, and game room. Ends up being a good staging location, from which to do our day trips.
Since we arrived mid-day, I took advantage of there being both a Trader Joe's and a Whole Foods in the city of Bellingham, just 20 minutes away. On the way back to the RV, I stopped at the beach overlooking Birch Bay, a few minutes away from our campground. The tide change is very big here on the bay, so mid-day, at low tide, the water is WAY out there, but in the early evening, at high tide, it was quite beautiful.
