England... or Fairhaven...

Today the kids and I took a detour to our local England - Fairhaven. Fairhaven is a great little downtown community that we live near on the south side of Bellingham. It is filled with adorable shops, wonderful (often overpriced, but delicious) restaurants, cobblestone walkways and beautiful scenery.
Taylor looks like he jumped right out of the London Scene...

This may be a child being bribed with a treat for a good picture...

There is a particular section by one of my favorite eateries, Skylarks, that reminds me a lot of England. It could be the double decker bus and red telephone booth that give me that impression...



The red bus was our lunchtime destination for delicious Halibut and Chips with our friend, Tara - no fast food here! Made to order, and boy, is it good. I highly recommend Jacci's Fish and Chips if you're ever here.... sorry Marjie, no picture of the goods... it was too good to stop and get my camera out! We also walked up a fantastic toy store, Wild Blueberries. They have wonderful wooden toys, cute hand puppets, and a really cool doll house that is actually a tree house. Fun place! The video of Maddie is at the wrong angle, and I can't figure out how to change it, so turn your head 90 degrees to view:



We finished off the day with a yummy ice cream cone (Rainbow Sherbet and Mint Chocolate Chip) from Colophon Cafe and a trip to Fairhaven Park. What a lovely day....

Cheerio!
