Lucia has come and gone.

Lucia's trip is over, and she is already back east in Baltimore. M and I picked her up on Sunday the 24th and we dropped her off at the shuttle on the 28th. She was only out for three days, but it was a really awesome three days. M really enjoyed it, and I think it was also really good for her to spend the time off and with Lucia. It took her mind off of work which she needed like no one's business.

M took her all around Bellingham to show her why B'ham is so wonderful. Monday M took Lucia up to see the Old Growth Cedar forest, and Nooksack Falls north of town. The Cedar trees are hundreds of feet tall and wide. One of the trees there is so wide it takes 12 adults holding hands to go around the entire base of the tree. M also took Lucia to see Noocksack Falls which is right down the highway from the old growth forest. The falls aren't very wide, maybe 40-55 feet wide, but it's about 150-167 tall.

M showed Lucia around Old Fairhaven and boulevard Park, she also got to go up to Sehome Arboretum to get a birds eye view of Bellingham from the large watch tower at the top og the hill there. Lucia's last night here M, Rob, and my self took her out to dinner at Anthony's Restaurant on Bellingham bay. We all got the sunset dinner, which is a four course meal for the price of a normal entree'. It was quite good. Afterwards when we went out side to leave we all got to see the lunar eclipse. It was the perfect ending to a wonderful visit.

It was fun having her out here and I hope she comes back to visit soon.
