Back to Washington - Day 7

I slept in today, but then we headed to La Conner to have lunch and wander the shops. It was only about a 20 min drive to get there, and we stopped at the La Conner Pub. It was right on the channel, and I had popcorn shrimp and a salad. It was really good. The town is full of cute little galleries and shops. My favorite was this wood art shop, The Wood Merchant. They have some great stuff. Everything from pill cases, to sculptures, to utensils, to artwork. And they had these cool 3-4’ playing card art pieces all made out of pieces of wood. Really neat. It got dark really quick, so we headed back. After we were back at the boat for a while, the wind started whipping (23+ mile per hours gusts), the rain started pouring, the waves got crazy, the boat started rocking, and the wind was howling loudly. That lasted a couple of hours, and I was on the verge of seasickness. It was crazy. My Dad called earlier to check in, and all is well at home. Then my Mom and I made Ivar’s clam chowder and salad for dinner while watching ‘First Knight’. Now I’m writing this while watching the TV show, ‘What I Like About You’ and am going to crash soon. Not sure what's on the agenda for tomorrow.
