Day 47: Tomorrow is our anniversary, so we decided to run off to the Bothell McMenamin’s for the night. We got to listen to some nice music from the courtyard, had a great meal at a local restaurant (not one of the ones here; none of their menus looked right to us for tonight, but The Cottage was excellent), and have some good chocolates and champagne in the room. The room on the whole is cute…except for the painting of this location’s namesake, Wilbert Andell Anderson, who looks like a creepy backwoods redneck badly cosplaying his just-discovered Viking ancestry, and who is staring directly at the bed.
Bonus photo: the full painting.
