Memorial Day Weekend In NW Washington

Friday is here and it is Memorial Day weekend in the northwest. So, what are you going to do?

If you haven't taken in the NCAA Men's Division II golf championship at Loomis Trail Golf Course in Blaine, WA this past week, you've still got some time left to head north to Blaine and Loomis Trail Golf Course. They should still be out finishing up around 6:30 tonight...and it is not getting dark until around 8:30. So, you still have time. Best part is that this is all free! This has been happening all week (ends tonight) and we should find out final scoring tonight about 6:30 to 7:00.

Okay, how about Saturday and Sunday? Weather report says it is going to be beautiful all the holiday weekend. Maybe you should consider the Ski To Sea. This yearly celebration could keep you going all weekend. The races, parades, even after hours. If you want to plan out a Ski To Sea weekend, my suggestion would be to go to: www.SkiToSea.com

Want a kinder, gentler type of weekend? How about Birch Bay State Partk? This park might be small. but is one of the most beautiful beaches and parks around. Walk the beaches, enjoy the sunsets, ducks, eagles, put your toes in the water. After you finish drive into Birch Bay and enjoy the restaurants and shops. For information on Birch Bay State Park and other parks go to: www.Parks.Wa.Gov.com

Want to watch the the sun go down and the lights of White Rock,Canada light up? After you finish walking the beaches, head a few minutes north to Semiahmoo. Drive all the way across the spit until you are at the Semiahmoo Resort. Park your car, grab a blanket and walk to the north side of spit. Get settled in and watch the sun go down while the lights of White Rock, Canada begin to twinkle. If you get a little chill, go to the Resort, they have a great restaurant and coffee shop.

I hope you enjoy your Memorial Day Weekend!
