Skywatch Friday: Boardwalk

There was a festive energy on the boardwalk last night as Bellinghamsters got out and enjoyed one of the first spring-like evenings of the year.

  4. Oh when the sun beats down and burns the tar up on the roof
    And your shoes get so hot you wish your tired feet were fire-proof
    Under the boardwalk, down by the sea, yeah
    On a blanket with my baby is where I'll be

    (Under the boardwalk) out of the sun
    (Under the boardwalk) we'll be havin' some fun
    (Under the boardwalk) people walking above
    (Under the boardwalk) we'll be making love
    Under the board-walk, board-walk!

    From the park you hear the happy sound of a carousel
    Mm-mm, you can almost taste the hot dogs and French fries they sell
    Under the boardwalk, down by the sea
    On a blanket with my baby is where I'll be

    (Under the boardwalk) out of the sun
    (Under the boardwalk) we'll be havin' some fun
    (Under the boardwalk) people walking above
    (Under the boardwalk) we'll be making love
    Under the board-walk, board-walk!

    Oooooh, under the boardwalk, down by the sea, yeah
    On a blanket with my baby is where I'll be

    (Under the boardwalk) out of the sun
    (Under the boardwalk) we'll be havin' some fun
    (Under the boardwalk) people walking above
    (Under the boardwalk) we'll be falling in love
    Under the board-walk, board-walk!

  7. A rose tipped sunset with glorious reflections and silhouettes and not a hint of those Bellinghamians in sight. What did you do with them all?

  12. Thanks for the comments everyone. It is indeed a beautiful place.

    @Margy - You can get to the boardwalk from Boulevard Park between Bellingham and Fairhaven or from the Chrysalis Inn just north of Fairhaven. If you haven't gone you should definitely make a point to visit it the next time you are in town.

  13. Re your question about the restoration of the Point Arena lighthouse - it was restored for historical reasons. The light is still functional, but now automated. A historical preservation group maintains the grounds and the building. You can rent the lightkeepers cabins.
