50 STB - Let's Get Wet - Washington

We all managed to get to San Juan Islands in Washington State. A Warped Witch I Be drove the Party Bus this time because Maid of the Mist Most Macabre ran out of Red Bull and we didn’t get to the 7-11 store and recharge the 64 oz Big Gulp in time.

Mind you it was overcast and a tad misty today, so we all wore our raincoats. Washington State is a pretty overcast state and it rains a lot here which probably explains why all the plants are extra green and the coffee beans are the best this side of the Mississippi.

We signed up for this awesome whale watching, orcas, dolphins tour. I love watching orcas or as they are more familiarly known as “Killer Whales.” Heck, the last time I went to Sea World in San Diego in 2014. I got to have dinner with Shamoo. My Iphone’s video and camera were ready for some good pics! I was gonna beat Spooky Kooky Krista in the Instagram wars today.

The boat ride was the best ever. We saw two big humpback whales and one splashed the boat with his tail and got us all wet. Thank goodness we were wearing raincoats! The dolphins came up right alongside the boat and Morticia Wednesday Megan Rose got to pet a few. I was jelly because every time I tried they swam off, but maybe it was because those pelicans were pestering them. The Orcas showed up and did a couple of tricks for the boat. The best part was watching the Eagles dive into the water and come out with some really big fat salmon. The eagles were feasting tonight.

Then we went to the Whale Museum. That was kinda cool and I tried to channel my inner marine biologist for a YouTube video but I sounded like a dork. Giant Phantom Jelly was very impressed with the big skeletons. AmyJo-Zombie hours stocked up on Washington State stickers for her Nalgene.

We saw Mt. Rainer in the distance. Reluctant Halloweenist gave a 15 minute TED talk on how Mt. Rainer was a bad ass volcano back in the day.

Afterword, we went to Seattle and saw the Space Needle. It’s kinda neat looking, but that’s about it. WakeUpAndLive~gummy worms BOO wanted to check out the coffee scene in Seattle and after our whisky snort yesterday, A Warped Witch I Be and me were up for some coffee.



We ended the day at Pam’s Kitchen and tried the Trinidad food. It was delish!
