Strait of Georgia
Trees and water

When you wake up on a Saturday morning and the sky is blue you take advantage of the day, here in BC those days are rare, especially in November. A perfect day to drive to Washington State and take the Chuckanut route along the ocean. The border is a half hour drive from daughters place, there was a line up at the crossing, other people had the same idea we had. Half an hour later we were in the USA. First stop Coffee and breakfast, which we enjoyed sitting in front of a warm fireplace. Then the drive along Chuckanut, the views were spectacular, San Juan Islands, Georgia Strait, Trees, Rocks, God`s creation for us to enjoy. We stopped for lunch at `The Oyster Inn` a restaurant we had visited years ago with Gord, sat at the same table, enjoyed the same view over a creek. The restaurant had changed hands twice in the last few years, however the menu much the same featuring oysters. After a two hour lunch stopped at Burlington, Target and Freddie Meyers to shop. We Canadians enjoy the variety the American Stores offer. A full day we were home at 5:30 !
