We arrived in Bothell, just 8 miles east of Seattle on the 3rd and are staying at Lake Pleasant RV Park. The sun finally came out on the 4th and it was a glorious day. We went to the Bothell Children's parade , followed by the Bothell Grand parade. Two and a half hours of parade. We had lunch and rested for a couple of hours and then drove over to nearby Evergreen Speedway at the Washington State Fairgrounds in Monroe. Unique racing at its best. We saw 4-cylinder bombers, hobby stocks, sportsman, mini stock figure 8, supercharged extreme V-8 winged figure 8 racing, cars pulling a boat race (which ends up with all of the boats destroyed) a truck demolition derby, followed by a car demolition derby. If that wasn't enough, Mr. Dizzy was there to drive a bus up a ramp, flip it over and land on a bed of junk cars and a guy driving a car on two wheels. If that wasn't enough, the evening ended with what Debbie said was, "the best fireworks display ever." Wow, it sure was a full and great 4th of July.
