DAY 14

After two weeks of pedaling and 1000 miles (approximately?) we finally made it to the land of Frasier and chowder. 

We planned for a short day so we slept in (until 6:30 or so). About 40 miles put us into Seattle's gooey center. But first we saw a few nice views. Here's Mt Rainier, which looms over much of northwest Washington. 

Once we were in Seattle we had to see pikes place of course.

It was real busy and touristy, so we went to this cool secret local hangout I knew of. 

We had thought we were done for the day but around 3:30 we had this crazy idea that we could spend the night on whidbey island, one of the San Juan islands. We raced the clock to cover another 45 ish miles to get to south whidbey state park.

Here is mike getting real seaworthy on the ferry. 

We made it just in time for sunset
