Night Market and Art Walk

For this date (last week), Jason decided to take me out for some local Bellingham activities.  This year a Friday night market began in Bellingham, and we had yet to check it out.  It turns out that this was the final week it would be open for the season, so we made it just in time!

It's a quirkly little market.  There were a couple of food vendors, some locals selling their crafts/goods, and a live band for entertainment.  I don't think it was quite what we were expecting, but it was fun nonetheless.  Plus, we did find some really cute onesies and kid's t-shirts that we will keep on our radar for later...  I think we expected some produce and local dairy stands (we've been on a cheese kick lately), but alas, there were none.  While we were wandering, one of the vendors noticed Baby H's little bump, and offered us a gift.  He gave me a piece of quartz taken from a spring on Mount Baker.  Apparently it will help with lactation when the time comes.  He was quite friendly, and later as we walked by his booth full of rocks and stones, his seemed to be the most popular.  Maybe that gives you an idea of what this night fair is like.

We wandered for a few minutes and didn't see too much else of interest, and then realized that being the first Friday of the month, it was also Art Walk! Perfect!  We ended up walking around downtown and checking out some shops that neither of us had ever been to before. We saw some great architecture at a relatively new showroom, and perused some art galleries. 

We finally noticed that our stomachs were growling, so we landed at D'Anna's. We had been there once before, and were unimpressed with service and food.  However, it had been a few years, and they always seem busy, so we decided to give them another try.  Poor choice.  Jason's beer didn't taste right (likely from dirty draft lines - euw) and our food was bland.  Not to mention, service was less than mediocre.  It wasn't an awful experience, but Bellingham has so many other food choices that we won't be going back.

Lastly, with our bellies full and feet tired, we made our way home and read the final chapter of Revelations.
