Great flight on Airtran out here. Seatac is a big airport but easy to get out of. I paid for an upgrade on our rental car to a Subaru Outback , nice car we can plug our Iphone into the stereo which is really nice. After about an hour drive and a lunch at an Irish restaruant we arrived at our B&B, The Mallard Cove. It is a restored English Tudor style home. We are the only guests for the first 2 nights. The owners put 6 years into restoring it, took a year and a half to decorate it. The ocean is right outside our 2nd floor room past the 100 foot fir trees. We stopped for some local wine and some cheese and crackers for dinner. Food is cheaper here, I think local wines are going to be a great deal. Our room has a whirlpool tub and it is really quiet here, oops the dogs just came home. It has been raining all day and the forecast is rain for our entire trip, however we will still get out and about. There is a wildlife refuge on the beach a mile from here with all kinds of birds and seals with a 4 mile wooden boardwalk through it. There is also kayaking with the owner, but I think we will pass as the water is only 45 degrees. so tonight we are relaxing and planning our day for tomorrow. Our hosts will have fresh cookies for us at 8 so guess where I'll be.
