Being Bellingham

Our first venture to Bellingham was an adventure. We didn't have much opportunity to enjoy the city beyond it's residential offerings. After two non-stop days of looking for a place to live (there are actually entire societies out there that survive without fences), we found a GREAT place to live, with a nice, grassy backyard for Satchmo. And, as of a few hours ago, it is officially ours!

Here are some shots of our trip:

We went to a trendy little pizza place downtown and got "The Spuddy":a pizza with bacon, chives, sour cream, barbeque sauce, and a potato sauce. I don't know how a potato sauce comes about, but it was pretty awesome, and something that I think Rodney would totally dig. Because Washington has enough trees for everyone to hug, Bellingham is a very eco-friendly city. Everything in this pizza place is completely compostable. All of the to-go cartons and utensils are completely made of corn! Crazy. Then we went for ice cream at Mallards, the downtown hipster hangout. It's Leatherby's all grown up... with massive dredlocks. It can never be Leatherby's but, then again, Leatherby's can never have dredlocks.
And that's our new house!!!

hey, I'm out of the loop...I thought you guys were headed to the east coast? Now it's WA? That's great, right?

Sharon, don't feel bad about being out of the loop. The entire High Desert area will feel "Left out" when they find out. I'm glad we all still share the same coastline, tho..it'll only take me 1/2 day to get to you. I'm going to have to go back to work to afford seeing my kids!
I'm happy that you're happy that he's happy.............

Hey Nicole,

How is Washington treating you guys? I have a lot of family in Washington. Kent, Bellevue, Gigg Harbor, etc. It is a really beautiful state!

When are you guys getting back down here to the Sacramento area? Want to introduce you to the latest Briggs addition! :)
