Debbie and Joe's Saturday

 

Sunrise


Debbie and I walked to the lake and also to the mailbox.

After everyone had breakfast we headed to walk the Skagit Nature Trail South near the Skagit airport..


It was a nice trail, well maintained and flat.  The weather was still cool.  We picked a route that was about 2 miles.  


Debbie zoomed in and did a close up.

We passed the airport.  It seemed like there were a lot of planes taking off and landing.





Don't jump!

The trail was maintained by the local library.  That was nice to see.

It was fun during the day we kept doing Mt Baker photo stops.  


When we were through with our walk Joe drove us to La Conner for lunch.  We wandered around first because it was a little early for lunch. 






We went to the restaurant but they did not open until noon, so we went somewhere  else for some beverages.  


At noon we headed back to the Firehall Kitchen and Taphouse for lunch.

They had some games to play.

Nathan and Joe playing Cornhole in back.

Nathan and I played connect 4 but they ran out of yellow discs so we had to quit.  No one won.


I had grilled cheese, tomato soup and Brussels sprouts (yummy with gorgonzola, cranberries and balsamic vinegar).



Ice cream at the Ice Cream Tower.

Interesting grate covers for the drains.

We then went to an Alpaca Farm and gift shop.
 



Cute Alpacas.

By then we were all tired and ready to go home for a rest break.  We relaxed for a while before starting up a game of 10, 9, 8 with a glass of wine.  





Then Joe started dinner.  He was doing Mahi Mahi and steaks in the Green Egg.  Debbie made salad and couscous.  
I had the filet mignon

After dinner and after we got the dishes put away we played a couple of rounds of Bananagrams.  

We walked down to the lake.  It was much cooler.





When we got back from our lake walk, Joe had a chance to show us the cars he has been working on.



TMI: He has 3 Corvairs a red 62 Monza 900, yellow Monza Spyder (turbo) 64, and a gold Corsa Turbo 65. The yellow and gold are both convertibles.  Then he also has 3 VW square backs.  Right now he is just working on the Corvairs.  

Sunset.  It has been a very full day.
