Anacortes

This weekend was the Labor Day long weekend, so we took the opportunity and checked out another area of Washington State USA.
The day kind of started disasterously. We decided to get up early and head for the Peace Arch border crossing, and have breakfast once over the border. Unfortunately the line up at the border crossing was insanely long and we didn't make it across until after 10:30am. Anyway, still hopeful, we headed for Lyndon, a Dutch influence town that sounded just cooky enough to be fun. WRONG! Other than McDonalds, Dairy Queen and Burger King, nothing was open, so we decided to take our grumbling stomaches and light heads elsewhere.
Plan B saw us deciding to skip breakfast and chow down on our snack supply instead.
We finally made it to Anacortes, a town on Fidalgo Island, around 1pm and hit the restaurant -FOOOOD, so good. Anacortes is one of the ferry ports on the Washington side, that travel over to Vancouver Island. The town itself has a marina and heaps of antique shops. It also had some great homes on the coast.
