WESTPORT

After yesterday you would think that my humans would give up and just stay home. I guess that’s not in the cards for this group. First thing this morning they checked on the cranberry museum again and found it was still closed. Too bad it really looked interesting.

They made a quick u-turn and headed for Westport, Washington. First stop was the International Mermaid Museum. Yes, that’s really a thing. From the pictures I’d say that they might have been to a museum this hokey before, but I doubt it. Lots of junky dummy mermaids hanging in all sorts of positions. And they paid $3.00 dollars to tour it. The saving grace was the beautiful garden and a winery on the same property so it wasn’t a total loss. The wines were too expensive, so there was no tasting today.

The best  part of the day was the time they spent at the harbor in Westport. They had a great lunch at the Blue Buoy Restaurant, and walked along the harbor. There were lots of small tourist shops for the Kathies filled with T-shirts, salt water taffy, fudge and Christmas ornaments. Warren and Jim walked along the dock and spoke to the fishermen. Maybe they were getting some good tips on fishing techniques.

When we returned to camp our next door neighbor who had just returned from a chartered fishing trip presented us with some Ling Cod that he caught. Fish tacos!
