January 23, day 4....Anacortes

We grudgingly had to leave the kids this morning. It was hard to see Mason's smiling kissy faces as we drove off. We'll miss them.

We hit the border in record time and after about a twenty minute wait got to the guard. Well, I was driving, and he surprised me with the question.....what did you bring with you?....you've got to be kidding me! We're gone for three months, of course I took everything but the kitchen sink. I didn't say that, but he stumped me and I was momentarily speechless. Now that is a phenomenon that doesn't happen to me often! I did tell him though that he could look in the back as it was all right there....it was at this point that Bill chimed in and got us out of the predicament. Good start to our U.S. experience...good one to chuckle about anyway.

Arrived at Bill and Geri's and talked forever getting caught up on everything. Bill K was out fishing yesterday and caught our dinner tonight. Awesome fresh marinated baked salmon...yum!
Will be a quiet relaxing evening and then off on our first shopping spree tomorrow....
