My Actifit Report Card: May 21 2019

Hello all! Today was a wonderful day. I had Bible study first which is always awesome, and then we headed to the bay for an afternoon of hiking/walking and fresh saltwater air! The sun was shining with mild temperatures and a light breeze. We took the trail from where we entered it all the way into Bellingham. There are historical facts all along this trail, and the entire trail is built upon the old railroad that ran through there in the late 1800’s to early 1900’s. Then turning around headed back the way we came to go into the park. The trail continues along and literally in the bay and loops up to Fairhaven. Fortunately there is a coffee shop there that serves pretty good mocha frappes (I prefer my freshly roasted coffee that I roast, but will now and again, make a concession). Along the east side of the park, the BNSF railroad currently operates.

Years ago, we owned a model railroad shop back east. We were seriously into trains; lived, breathed and ate them. Once they are in your blood, you never lose the awe of them. We would periodically jump in the car and ‘chase’ a steam engine. We would race from stop to stop to get a close up look at a live stream engine. When I hear the horn of the train as it approaches roads and pedestrian crossings, I immediately grab my phone to catch the picture as it nears where I am standing. I still get that adrenaline rush I did previously when we chased the steam engines. If you like trains, you understand what I’m talking about. It’s awesome!! 🤩

We were there longer than I thought we’d be, so I was able to get a shot as the sun was descending. We missed sunset as we were both famished by then and had headed home, but it was a wonderful day with my best friend, my husband. 💕

Eye candy today: behind the Fitbit stats was the shot before the real sunset. Sailboats out in the bay, and of course, an approaching BNSF train.

That’s it for now. Have a good day wherever you are!
