I've been itching to get away. So much so that
this song had been stuck in my head for days (and thus became the theme song to our weekend).
I was craving roadside-style accommodations with all the amenities: pool, ice / vending machines, and overpriced movie rentals, so we headed up to Bellingham last Saturday night!
Nothing fancy (per the request), so we stayed at the Best Western Express, complete with evening cookies and a make-your-own pancake machine (does life get any better?!)
We got in on Saturday afternoon (travel time = nap time) and spent the day enjoying the sun in Fairhaven.
There were a few new (to us) places:
- Wild Blueberries: where we got Abigail's adorable
harness backpack ;)
- Avenue Bread: they make an out-of-this-world pesto goat cheese roll. I'll be back for you, my pretty!
Then it was off to our hotel for pool time, an evening stroll through Bellingham, dinner at
Lorenzo's, and an unexpected night cap at the local arcade. (who would have thought...)

Pool time!
The highlight of the trip for Abigail was roaming the hallways on her own |
 |
| Score! Vending machine heaven |
 |
| What started out as a game got serious pretty quickly. |
 |
| Abigail played this game all by herself and even won two tickets! |
 |
| Partners in crime (and Skee Ball) |
 |
The princess and her prize fighter.
The wand, necklace and braclet are what Kevin won with his tickets- what a Dad! |
(okay, so maybe we spent a little too much time at the arcade...)
Time to plan our next getaway; preferably by plane!
Oh, the things Kevin puts up with... :)
