Saturday around noon we motored all of 15 miles down old highway US 2 to another of Dan’s cousins, Paul Peters. Paul, his wife Shannon and their sons (Ryan and Spencer) live in a rural area of Everett. Also on the property is Paul’s mother (Dan’s aunt) Jan. We spent the rest of the day and evening reminiscencing about the many camping trips that the Peters (4 kids) and Ryans (4 kids) took together around Puget Sound when we were all kids. Truly is amazing there were so few broken bones and serious injuries! The day was capped off by an excellent meal prepared by Jan. Although our time at the Peters was too short, we now know they have a great place for us to park our RV. And being only 20 miles from our property, we are sure we will be spending more time there!Sunday, 23SEP, we were faced with a decision on how to proceed to our next destination on Whidbey Island. Do we take the shortest route using the Washington State Ferry at Mulkiteo; or drive north on I5 and cross the bridge at Deception Pass? Since driving a large RV on to a ferry can be a little challenging, we voted for driving north. Besides this allowed us to spend the night at the Northern Lights Casino. Turns out that today was also the annual Oyster Run. Corrie thought this would mean lots of fresh oysters everywhere. Not! It meant thousands of bikers driving around the countryside!
We made it to our spot at the RV park on the back side of the Casino. When we checked in we were given two coupon books for various discounts in the casino, the restaurants, and gift shop. Now we know that the coupons are just bait to get you into the casino and hope you gamble. But being regular watchers of the Travel Channel we decided to try one of the things they “recommend” when you get these coupon books. Seems there is almost always one coupon that will double your $5 dollar bet at blackjack or roulette. Corrie didn’t understand how this might be a good thing. Dan explained that there were three possible outcomes: lose both bets and be out $10; win one bet & lose one and win $5; and win both bets and be ahead $20. We won both bets and walked away.

Looks like your relatives spent some time in Ohio. Put in Bay, Cleveland....
That's what happens when you buy your clothes at factory outlets.
