4th July Parade

This morning Rho and I packed up our camp site and said our good-byes to Ingrid and Paul. I went for a bike ride, making a loop around the north end of Lopez Island. I headed to the Islander Resort to pick up mom & dad who were arriving by sea plane. There was a 4th of July parade down Fishermans Bay Road and sat on the bike frame and watched waiting for the sea plane to arrive. I was surprised to see Rho drive by in the parade with my truck, kayak and mom in the passenger seat. It seems the sea planes were not allowed to take-off from Lake Union on July 4 so mom an dad had departed from Boeing Field and landed at Lopez Airfield. Dad arrived shortly later in the Islander van.


In the evening we cooked up a bunch of sautéed vegetables. Bob and Becky had initiated a big salmon bake at the camp site. Mom and Dad had a great time meeting all the BASKers, sipping wine and enjoying the wonderful salmon.
