Day 3 July 4, 2025 Renton Washington to Bellingham Washington 107 miles

Today was spent visiting with family and friends. Great way to spend the Fourth of July. We left brother Ed’s house about 9:30 and headed for Connie’s cousin Darlene’s place in Kenmore Washington. We had a nice visit with her and her husband Deyane.

Then it was off to granddaughter Maddy’s place in Bothel Washington. We had brunch with daughter Amy, all four grandchildren (Maddy, Meagan, Matthew, and Merik) and Maddy’s fiancé Jake. So good to catch up with everyone.

On the way to Bellingham Washington

Way to soon but it was. time to head off to friends David and Barbara Ann in Bellingham Washington. We took the freeway since that was easier. (The driver did not necessarily agree.) At least it was moving today. The roads are really rough however and the woodie is not the smoothest vehicle to ride in. We had a wonderful dinner with them on their deck that overlooks the lake. We visited until the fireworks started. There were so many and so beautiful. They were firing from all around the lake.
