Anderson Creek Lodge last Bed & Breakfast!

Managing the Lodge (see the closed tram)
June 4, Saturday: Our arrival to our last B&B is Anderson Creek Lodge--Built in the 70's--it was modern in it;s time--the air conditioning is based on the chimney effect. All the rooms upstairs have window trams all along the inside wall ceilings...somewhere, at some point, someone enclosed all of those trams...it was HOT! The front of the lodge faces west and if you go to the link you can see all windows. The day cooled off quickly and the evenings are cool not cold. Very comfortable temps. We unpacked and head out for a bite to eat. Neither of us were very hungry. The lodge managers suggested a German style restaurant about 1 mile away. We decided on 3 appetizers and soup which was just enough. Had a nice glass of Riesling wine. I have to tell you that that glass of wine set me on my tail. Here's the story: while lugging our luggage up the stairs...there is canister lighting on the wall in the middle of the staircase--on first trip up the stairs...Jim hit the light with his shoulder...that was the Oops! On the second trip up the stairs...Jim hit the light with his shoulder...I heard "Oh I can't believe I hit it again--third one is a charm" and the last trip up he hit...the....light....AGAIN!!! I just lost it...(I'm sure it was the wine). I was laughing so hard I wet my pants! I know you don't think it was that funny but...I lost it...damn WINE!!!
...it went downhill from there...It was time for bed. Our selection for a bed & breakfast was lovely. There was a Llama on the property. It was very unfriendly or just couldn't hear.

Only one

 Our first Breakfast morning was HUGE! 3 pancakes, yogurt with fruit, 3 slices of pepper bacon, hash browns with cheese--we took a long walk after the delicious breakfast and got started on our tour through the city of Bellingham. We loved Bellingham. Most of the downtown area are old buildings renovated to modern chic. Fresh new environmental graphics and very unique shops and signage.
