We saw a bear!!!!
Honest to goodness, we went out on special bear hunts, constantly searched the side of the road, below the ski lifts... Any place we thought a bear would linger and we never saw one... Until this morning when a young adolescent bear almost became our hood ornament!! He was so close we could read the numbers on his yellow ear tag! Literally as we were driving out of town this bear ran across the road right in front of our car. Tom was on the brakes so hard we were both almost through the windshield.
"Are you kidding me??? Did that just happen??? AND WE HAVE NO PICTURES!!!!!"
(We really DID see a bear Sue and Roger...)
We suffered through a 1.5+ hour border crossing back in to the US. They let us in without a problem though... Even wished us "Welcome home".
Due to the long wait at the border we were 30 minutes later than intended to the airport to pick up Melanie and Steve. They were waiting curbside and the four of us packed and repacked the rental trying to make their 4+ bags fit. Comfortably snug in the back seat, we set off the direction we just came from in search of dinner and our hotel. After dinner we unloaded our bags, did a quick change and hit the road again for the H2O Bar in Anacortes.
Steve has a lifelong friend Randy who has his own blues band and they were appearing onstage at the H2O. We arrived in time for Steve to chat with Randy and he brought him by to meet Melanie (his new fiancée!), and Tom and I. It turns out that Randy and his band (Randy Oxford Band) have won some awards and are really good! Steve's son Derek also joined us for the evening. We did some dancing and had a great time.
