Culture Shock

Monday Aug 25th – We left Port Ludlow at 7:50am for Seattle, Bell Harbor.  Our adventure was winding down – we talked about school shopping in Seattle and all the fun we had the past few weeks.  Our plan is to spend our last 2 nights in Seattle getting the kids ready for the first day of school just a few days away.  Its hard to believe we will have been out on the boat for 30 days, it almost feels like home now.

We tied up to the Bell Harbor docks at 11:50am traveling 27.70nm from Port Ludlow.

We split up – Julie took Ava I took Skylar – and for the next 2 days we shopped like crazy getting the kids everything they needed to start school.  We had dinner the first night at our favorite Steelhead Diner, then the next night at Etta’s.  Both were fantastic!  Each night we sat on the upper deck of the boat as the sun went down.  The view is awesome at night with the water on one side and the lights of the city on the other.

We had some serious culture shock in the city.  After being out in nature for the last 30 days, coming to a big city was a little overwhelming.  After seeing a drug deal go down, multiple people smoking pot in public, people fighting, and a crazy guy on drugs or something getting picked up by an ambulance we were ready to get out of there!
