In 2001, I drove my little dodge dakota alone off the ferry from Alaska, through the town of Bellingham without a second thought as I made my way to my new life in Seattle.

In 2007, my husband and I overnighted in Bellingham before catching a 7 am cruise to Victoria, BC.  This past weekend my husband and daughter and I thought we’d finally stop and see what Bellingham had to offer.

We didn’t spend much time downtown, but we were charmed by the boardwalk along Bellingham Bay.

Loved this heron.

My girl had the best time. So much to discover!

I loved all the sailboats, and the sunset was spectcular.

So beautiful and serene.
