A few years ago the Duersch women began an annual tradition of getting together and getting away: going someplace sans children and husbands and spending time together. While I've missed more exotic getaway locations (NYC, Missouri), it was fun having the ladies come up here for a Bellingham/Vancouver, BC getaway.
There's only so much you can squeeze into two days (even when the driver
*ahem-me* isn't getting lost in Bellingham), but I think we all had fun nonetheless.
Skagit Valley Tulip Festival
Despite this being the fourth spring that we have lived in Whatcom County, this is the first time I have been to the Tulip Festival. Had it not been raining we would have enjoyed walking among the tulips in the fields, but even so we enjoyed the pretty displays.
Shopping in Fairhaven
Even this little Duersch lady got to come to day 1 of the getaway. Here she is patiently waiting while we finish some shopping before dinner.
Capilano Suspension Bridge
On day 2 of the DGG we headed up to Vancouver, BC. We did some shopping at the
Kids Market, followed by exploring a public market that was going on nearby.
Then we visited the Capilano Suspension Bridge.
Lighthouse Park
We wrapped up the weekend by having dinner and an Indian restaurant in Vancouver before heading back to our accommodations at Birch Bay.
Two days isn't quite long enough to spend time with everyone, but I'll take it. Thanks for a fun getaway, Duersch girls!
