Ocean Bound!

Well today wasn't overly interesting as it was a travel day.  We went from Cache Creek to outside Anacortes, Wa.  We are spending two nights at the Swinomish Casino before heading down Whidbey Island.  

We left Cache Creek bright and early around 8:00am.  We were up and out of there even before the creepy pedo was up gawking at the children!  Funny story - Trent was going to the shower and some old guy stopped him and said "So what did you think about the shower." Trent looked at him weirdly and said, "I don't know, I haven't been there yet!". The guy looks at him crazy and says, "No the rain shower!" oh my - he then proceeded to talk about how there hasn't been any rain in 30 days.  It's desert country you know!  Then he walked away.  Wow - the things seniors and RV ers find intriguing and want to talk about.  Trent managed to get thru his shower without the pedo or senior peeking in his stall.  I'm pretty sure this is the dumb look he had on his face......

So, we left Cache Creek and wound our way through the Fraser Canyon.  The roads were clear, the temp was perfect and the views were amazing.  

We arrived to a 40 minute wait at the border.  It wasn't too bad as we found ways to entertain ourselves!

Look it's us on the border webcam! If you look closely you can see me waving my arms out the sunroof!  It's like a low tech version of where's Waldo.  

We crossed the border and stopped at El Nopal for Mexican food for lunch.  The food was good but the margaritas were even better! I highly recommend their mango raspberry! After a large and a medium margarita I was feeling pretty damn good! I can't remember the rest of the trip......kidding, kidding.  We found ourselves on a back country road heading to Burlington when my famous words were spoken......pull over!! I have to make water! (Sorry my reference to Boardwalk Empire.  Great show on HBO if you haven't seen it!) That salsa and beans ran right through me.  As we tried to look for a safe spot to pull over, the flight of the bumblebee was going on in my head.  It's times like these we shouldn't be ashamed of adult diapers.......luckily we haul a toilet on wheels and we found a place to pull over.  After that was done we were good to go!

We arrived at the casino, found our spot and relaxed for a bit before heading out to shop.

We fed the girls and headed over to the Burlington outlets.  There really weren't many deals, but my mom and I managed to feed our purse fetish and we both bought a gorgeous Coach bag each.  I won't get into logistics and price, but lets just say I'm in love with mine and that's all that matters right? I justified it after walking into the Lululemon outlet and could have either bought 2 pairs of yoga pants or my beautiful bag - um Coach please.  I will post a pic of it in all it's glory later!

We managed to find a few things but no smoking deals by any means.  After shopping we got some groceries at Fred Myers.  Our cart consisted of a $4.99 bottle of wine, 6 pack of beer, 6 pack of cider and 4 little 4 packs of wine that worked out to be $1.00 per bottle. Oh we also got a couple bags of awesome flavoured chips and a carton of eggs!  Not sure what we will be eating, but it won't really matter anyways since we will be drunk!  

Today we are heading into Anacortes to find some fresh seafood off the boats and find a fruit and vegetable market.  We will explore the area and visit our favourite place - Camping World!

I promise to take lots of pics and post them!

Have a wonderful day all!
