NATION’S 1st INTERNATIONAL MERMAID MUSEUM

I had to go into town today for a few grocery items – so I slipped my Spring themed coffee mug cuff off … and replaced it with Frosty the Snowman, since the snowfall does not seem to want to fade away.

MOD Snowman Cuff back on my thermos Travel Cup.

Spotted an EV in the Winco parking lot this afternoon: NOPE – it does not appeal to me! It’s waaay too small for my needs.

I got back home without any mishaps; unloaded the groceries and cases of water: and checked my FB Page for messages – and to make sure my ‘Friends’ are still alive and kicking 😉

I came across an interesting post on the Wandering Washington FB Page.

This might be interesting ;-)

So, I researched it online to get more information about it (Why? Where is it located?; ect.)

From what I can gather online, the Mermaid Museum is located pretty much halfway between Aberdeen and Westport.

NO – I do not believe actual mermaids exist ... but, this does sound interesting; and a drive to Westport-WA, would be a fun way to spend a sunny day Daytrip :-)

Just like the myth of Atlantis, the mermaid tales have been passed down through the generations. On sunny days, people head towards the ocean beaches and let their imaginations loose.

Imagination is not reality.

But entertaining flights of fancy can be fun on a dreary day ;-)

Visiting the flight of fancy museum will be a fun get-away-daytripping adventure 😊

Getting there will be an all-day thing; and I’ll have to gas up in Westport or Aberdeen, on my way back home (and at nearly $5/gal., that will be a spendy loop drive); but as soon as the snow stops falling and the weather warms up, I’ll be chomping at the bit to hit the road and see things I’ve not seen before 😊

It cost me $34 to pump ¼-tank of gas this afternoon; granted there was a 9-cent reduction from 2 weeks ago, but I’m thinking the gas price will jump quite bit up as soon as Spring Fling travel starts and Summer, kicks in: it always does. And with the obama-biden-cartel politically manipulated inflation spikes added to that seasonal gas hike occurrence, gas prices will be rocketing into outer space this year.

9-cent difference at the pump, this afternoon, compared to the gas price on March 31st – last time I topped the tank off.

But … I’m still penciling daytrips into my life: gotta have ‘em. Sitting around watching the grass grow in the neighbor’s lawn, isn’t how I envision spending my Golden Years.

I am not a rich widow – I am a frugal one 😉

I am going to fix a salad to lunch on … and dream of a sunny days with an ocean view. Hopefully soon.

Big, FAT, snowflakes this morning. Where were these things at Christmastime???
