Bellingham, WA - September 9 & 10, 2017

Since we live just across the border, we visit Washington state A LOT ... we visit a lot of the cities and town close to the border all the way to Idaho and almost to Oregon.

We haven't really traveled much down into Oregon ... maybe as B gets older, we can handle the talking more because he won't be talking as much. LOL

So, for this weekend, we stayed, for the first time at the Super 8 in Ferndale. We had driven "by" it several times - really stopping at the McDonald's by it on the way home to grab a quick burger or drink before the border wait.

We forgot to take a picture of the room or breakfast area, but A did get a picture of the pool. I will say the the room does look like the photo online. The bed was comfortable but the room was small. The chairs also didn't "fit" ... they had like a dining room chair in the corner where one would expect to see a comfortable chair - but that's really splitting hairs.

The breakfast area ... it was pretty lean. We've stayed at a lot of places, and most places have at least bagels. This place offered coffee, juice, white & brown bread for toasting, blueberry muffins QUARTERED (!!!), Raisin Bran & Froot Loop cereals, hard boiled eggs, yogurts and waffles. The juice was watery and I've already mentioned the fact there were no bagels ... I mean HELLO??!! Hahaha

If this place was the cheapest stay ... A says she would stay again.

We ate dinner on September 9 at Westside Pizza. This isn't really a sit down place although they do have a handful of booths/tables available. We ordered a walk-in special for $15.99 and B wanted wings. Total for the bill was just over $25 with tip.

Lunch on September 10 was Taco Bell. Really don't have to say much about Taco Bell. Maybe the only thing is that B tried Diablo, Fire & Mild sauces ... in that order. Kid is crazy sometimes. Diablo wasn't really that hot, but I'm sure if you ate a lot it would be a killer.

Anyways ... that's it for the weekend. We didn't stop at any shops that we out of the ordinary so no need to mention them here.


Until next time!!
