Hi All
We have finally finished our first day. Mum made it to Peach Arch Park with no issues and met us exactly at 3:30 as planned. F helped us transfer my things from our car to Mum’s and with a quick hug, we were off.
When we had first arrived at the park there was a reported hour wait for crossing the border, but when we headed towards customs it was quite a bit quieter.
After a quick conversation with Customs about our trip and how fun that sounded, we were heading down the I-5. Mount Baker was absolutely beautiful as we drove through Skagit County, and we were quite pleased to see the Mount Vernon bridge rebuilt after last year’s collapse. We ran into a small amount of traffic coming into Everett, but that quickly dissipated and before we knew it, we were at the hotel.
Dinner was at Goldberg’s Deli, which was featured on Food Paradise. We started with the potato latkes as an appy and then Mum got the Godfather sandwich and I got a Corned Beef & Pastrami Reuben. Mum finished half her sandwich and I finished about a third, plus we have half the latkes leftover (they gave us a side instead of the appy size so we had 6 of them). Definitely a great start to the Food Network trip, but a very long first day.
I will leave you now with pics of our dinner.
Talk to you soon.
