Happiness is Clean Clothes and a Leisurely Day for the Pacific-Northwest Trekkers

We awoke today to some calming Earl Grey tea and a yogurt parfait breakfast. Ominous clouds filled the sky as we trekked towards our first destination, the laundromat. The town of Bellingham was quaint and peaceful, and we enjoyed ourselves very much in the five-star cleaning facility. After some relaxing time spent napping, reading and watching the clothes spin, we packed up our fresh, clean biking apparel and had ourselves a sandwich feast. We then departed to compete the last 20 miles of our trip towards Birch Bay State Park. Beautiful views and a clearing sky surrounded us as we arrived at the campground. We took a quick trip to the bay to read and then ate a scrumptious dinner of alfredo pasta with broccoli. As our first week together comes to a close, we have become a close, nomadic tribe. Our tents may be close together, but our hopes have never been more far reaching.
