A Summer in Petersburg, Alaska: The first 6 days...

May 28, 2013

We have been traveling for 6 days now!

Thursday 5/23-

We woke up at our house in New Mexico. After lunch at O’Niell’s Pub we spent the afternoon driving to Moab, Utah where we spent the night on Carl & Melinda’s property parked on their airplane hanger.

Friday 5/24-

We drove thru Salt Lake City, all of Idaho and we spent the night at the little municipal airport in Baker City, Oregon.

Saturday 5/25-

We finished driving thru Oregon and spent the night in La Conner, Washington near our storage unit (where we stored all our boating things).

Sunday 5/26-

We sorted thru our storage unit, took a bunch of things to Goodwill, and went toTim & Bev’s house in Seattle, Washington where we had a nice dinner with them and Amanda and Rita (granddaughter & her partner). Also, I posted our outboard motor and generator on Craigslist.

Monday 5/27-

We sold our outboard motor! Then we took a ferry from Everett to Kingston. We made it to Steve and Monica’s beach house on the Hood Canal to spend some time with my uncle Steve before we went to their home in Port Townsend. We had appetizers of clams (dug up from the beach house the day before), we tried to go out for dinner. Memorial Day in Port Townsend is not a good night to go out to dinner. After trying several restaurants we settled for shopping at the Safeway grocery store. Back at Steve & Monica’s house we had the best spinach, goat cheese and “propane chicken” salad. For dessert we had Greek honey yogurt with blueberries. It was probably a better meal than we could have found at ant restaurant!

Tuesday 5/28-

We said our goodbyes to Steve & Monica and had lunch in Port Townsend at a coffee shop where there was internet so I could post my blog...
