Julie and I were just treated to a visit from my parents (who live in Bellevue). We had a dandy time with them ("dandy" is kind of a lame word, sorryh). We went to three restaraunts: 1) Tokyo Grill in Barkley, 2) Milano's in Glacier and 3) La Fiamma (sp?) in downtown. All were a hit I think!
One of the things my Mom loves to do is take drives to we decided to pile into the car and head up the mountain. As you can see from the pictures, we made it all the way to the top. It was a beautiful day at Artist Point, although with the sun kind of in
my face it made picture taking difficult. Still, my Dad, who is a history teacher (including Washington State History) remarked that "[he] can't think of a more beautiful place you can drive to anywhere in the state." We had a blast, ate some good food, talked about the grandson's (my nephews...who live in Papua New Guinea) and "did" Bellingham.

We were really glad to be in Bellingham long enough to take the Mt. Baker drive. Its beauty beats Sunrise, Paradise, Chinook Pass and the North Cascades Highway. The views are grand, and so are close-ups of alpine trees and ice-carved volcanic rocks. It was great of the two of you to show us the area, and demonstrate to us that there are both good and reasonably priced restaurants in Bellingham.
Hiking in August around glaciers means it won't be long til the trees start turning color. We'll be looking forward to those photos. Anything else you want to show us would be great too.
