Awesome day today!
Got to take one of our semi-annual trips up north with my daughter and her husband. Despite the pissing down rain, we headed up into #SkagitValley onto #ChuckanutDrive

We took a nice walk down to the water in #LarrabeeStatePark to check out the rock formations, moss, lichen, and a few teeny mushrooms. Managed to get a bunch of pictures and I'm looking forward to sorting through them tomorrow.

Also stopped by one of my favorite local cheesemongers(Samish Bay Cheese) in the area and picked up partial wheel of cheese and some lebneh cheesecake.

Here's one with my daughter looking south down onto #SamishBay

Oh. And to wrap up the day, we spun the wheel and randomly ended up at a wonderful, new(for us) Szechuan restaurant where I had the most cumin-iest lamb dish that numbed my mouth and almost overwhelmed me.

I had no idea that cumin was capable of doing that! Highly recommend!
It was a day of nice, little discoveries. Days like this are keepers.

As part of their attempt to dissuade reckless behavior in the park, I can appreciate the State Forest Department's little homage to Magritte: "Ceci n'est pas un sentier", I guess?
