We slept a little later, making our way down to the house by 9:00 am for breakfast - we're constantly surprised by the differences in meals here... Elizabeth laid on a fruit starter with peaches and blueberries followed by eggs and Canadian Ham (we've never had salsa with scrambled eggs at breakfast, but it made a tasty and spicy change - very nice, maybe we should try that at home some time... food for thought).
Our itinerary for the day began with a drive down to Twin Bridges Marina where we boarded Tom's boat and headed off for La Conner, a leisurely 20-minute trip. Safely moored, we walked into town to explore and found lots of antique shops and arts & crafts shops and galleries as the sun climbed high above us and the temperatue increased accordingly as we snacked and drank and took in the sights. Then it was back to the boat for the reverse trip back to our starting point. At the marina we saw a multi-storey boat park, yes that's right - boats are lifted out of the water, fork lift trucks then carry them and safely deposit them in place inside the building (we counted at least three floors, but there may have been four).
During the drive back Kristi took a phone call and learned that a relative had been taken into hospital - so we cut our stay short, packed the car and headed back to Tacoma so Steve & Kristi could visit while we walked a few blocks to have a meal at a local Chinese restaurant.
When they returned we talked a while and shared some wine before tiredness finally overcame us and we decided to turn in.
