Toured VanDusen Botanical Garden, in Vancouver, then drove to
Deception Pass State Park, near Oak Harbor, WA. Dinner at a
Japanese steak house in Burlington, WA and that made me sick.
Connie as we crossed the pond at VanDuen Botanical
Garden. We spent a couple of hours hiking in the
gardens.

Monkey Puzzle tree. Never saw anything like it.
See the close up of the branches on the right.

This is not a great photo, but we hiked about a mile to get
here and there were two steep hills up and down. It
was more of a hike than either of us thought we'd make, but
we just kept going and eventually got there. The photo
of the bridge below, was taken from this point.
|
This is the bridge at Deception Pass. Photo taken from
Lighthouse Point. And by the way, there is no
lighthouse at Lighthouse Point. I guess it would just
make a good location for a lighthouse. Connie was all
ramped up to see the lighthouse, but I warned her while we
were hiking that there might not be one.
|
This boat was in the bay when we walked back from Lighthouse
Point. It caught my eye because of the paint around
the port holes makes it look like a man-o-war... ready to
fire 6 cannons broadside. It was only when I was
able to look at the photo up close that I noticed the name -
Cutty Sark.
|
At the end of the day, my
pedometer app says we walked 4.29 miles
