After our short stay in North Bend, Washington we traveled the interstate to the 405 Interchange just east of Seattle and headed north. The traffic was slow at the interchange but it picked up speed all the way to Everett and beyond. Our plan was to stay one night in the parking lot of the Angel of the Winds Casino before driving on to Camano Island. Karen's cousins, Maree and Roger Haug, drove up from Everett to meet us at the Casino for dinner that night.They came up earlier to do some gambling while we set up and re-charged our RV batteries.
We discovered upon arrival that the fireplace heater's glass panel bounced off the front of the appliance due to the rough highway conditions. When this panel came off, the heater turned on and used our stored 12v battery power. We, of course, didn't discover this until we arrived at the casino to set up for the night. Our battery power levels were down to 25%. After replacing the fireplace panel and turning off the heater I got out our Honda generator from the back of the truck to charge up the system. We ran the generator for an hour to get the batteries back up to about 60% before turning it off and joining our cousins for dinner.
When we returned after dinner I ran the generator for another hour and we were fine for the night. The next day we departed the parking lot for the short drive to Camano Island to settle into our spot next to the beach house on Iverson Road. The property is owned by Rick and Creigh Agnew, another of Karen's Washington cousins from her dad's side of the family. We love coming here and have made it an annual retreat venue in the Pacific Northwest. We really enjoy the time we have with our family!
On Wednesday, August 6 Karen and I celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary while on the island. After a relaxing day of just enjoying this lovely spot, we had a delicious evening meal at the Blue Heron Restaurant to celebrate this milestone.



We so appreciate the fellowship and hospitality of all the Washington cousins. Creigh and Rick are so generous allowing us to mooch-dock on their property with the million dollar view of the Puget Sound. This is where we will leave the rig when we do our cruise to Alaska. We've made the trailer available to the Agnew family for their use while we're gone.
