Birch Bay

I love this sign in the Peace Arch park, leading into USA!


We got to go up to Birch Bay this week. Ray & I actually went listen to a timeshare presentation and got a free trip, but somehow it got messed up and we already had all our vacation time and babysitting (thanks mom & thom) set up, so we used Mom's bonus time for her time share in Birch Bay which is only a few miles away from the Canadian border. We don't have our passports or enhanced driver's license so we couldn't go into Canada. It is a 3 hour drive up to Birch Bay and only a few more miles to the border.

Here is a pic w/ the water somewhat out this morning before we left, it was right across the street from where we stayed. It would be really nice in the summer.. but prob. not available then, either. We stayed in a cute little studio apartment, w/ a little kitchen and a Murphy bed.





Ray by the water yesterday w/ the tide in.





We went to the Peace Arch Park and they had all the names of the flowers, here I had Ray stand next to the "Sexy Rexy" :)









Some of the strange sculptures they had there.

ok , Ray & I felt a little bad that we were sooo fascinated w/ a black squirrel, but have you ever seen a black squirrel before??!






















had to take one of both of us to prove I really was there.

My kind of garden... it had rocks by the flowers w/ a name of each flower.

That sounds like a really nice place to explore. Brandon and I will have to get up there some day.
