time warp

I'm so embarrassed that it's been over two months since I've posted! Thank you for your patience. It's been a busy two months, although I'm sure I could've written at least a few posts. I think part of the problem is that I tend to forget that I have a blog, and there's no visual cue to remind me to write in it (and you are all too polite to hound me about it). :) At least with a real journal you see it laying around and think "Oh, I should write something."

Well, we leave in three weeks! We decided on Bellingham, and I've been printing out craigslist ads by the dozen, but we aren't going to commit to any rentals until we can actually see them in person. Yesterday I reserved two nights at a campground near Bellingham (Larrabee State Park) where we will stay while we are looking at rentals. It's amazing how booked up places get--B&B's and hotels were either too expensive or unavailable for our dates, and even the campground only had a few spots left! But I was pretty thrilled when I found out I could view pictures of the available sites! After staying up way too late and putting far too much thought into it, I decided on site #51. The only negative comment was "above avg. vehicular traffic," but I figured that would be better than "excessive train noise." Here's our site:
