We left Kelso at 9 am, heading north to Bellingham,
Mickey is still not himself, has the runs, so we are glad to be heading home.
With everyone of his "events" we appreciate the benefit that must come with short haired dogs because Mickey needs a full wash before being allowed back in the truck!
The weather is getting cooler and greyer but at least it isn't raining.
We had to stop just south of Seattle, quickly finding an exit because it was obvious Mickey had to go.
We found a park to let him out then made it back to the I-5 for the always relaxing drive through downtown Seattle.
Thankfully the traffic wasn't too bad and I have kind of learned which lane to stay in. The right lane that slow vehicles like ours should stay in all to frequently turns into an exit only lane, which means I have to merge left but you can drive for a mile with your signal on and no one gives you an inch.
Good for the blood pressure!
We stopped in Everett for lunch at a Burger King then went on as far as Burlington where we stopped at a Camping World RV store, big whoop, we bought a sewer hose. Let Mickey attempt another BM , then continued on to Bellingham.
We wanted to see a Trader Joes grocery store that my niece Kathy had told us about. The GPS told us where to find one. It was incredibly busy but we bought some groceries and can now strike it off our list of places to see.
Finally arrived at the Bellingham RV Park around 4.
We could have made it home tonight but we like to stop here to have a chance to decompress before the border and the drive to the ferry, besides, we told Stephen we wouldn't be home till Sunday so don't want to surprise him a day early!
Tomorrow we will have a leisurely drive to Blaine and the duty free store before heading across the border and on to Horseshoe Bay for the ferry ride home.
As of this time the world hasn't ended, for us at least, so I guess that guy will have to come up with a new date.
Glad I didn't max out the credit card after all!
