Birch Bay- anyone been?

[sarack]

My grandma (mom's mom) came over last night and said that I didn't look vacationed enough when she picked us up from the airport after Maui, so she booked my husband and I a room for 2 nights in Birch Bay, as part of my birthday present. It's far enough away to be away, but close enough to come home if need be. It's also a place we've never been. She also mentioned that married folks need to 'date' each other, so this is good for us. 

What do we do there? I mean, besides sleep the whole night through, do it like rabbits, and veg?

I haven't actually been, but the Ragnar course went through Birch Bay. It's gorgeous up there!! It looked like there were a few cute shops and restaurants but it's mostly a place to just relax. I was thinking I'd like to take my bike up there sometime too. Have fun! Glad you are getting some time away

We've been there. We went and walked around the state park. You could go to Canada for the night market if it isn't already closed.

I have no suggestions, but your grandma rules.

I'm kind of late to seeing this thread, I only lurk over here on occasion.  I live in Bellingham and work in Birch Bay, so if you want any recommendations feel free to PM me.  If you're going any time soon a lot of the business will be closed for the season, but there are some fun things to do.

Never been, but DH says it's nice. Hope you have fun!
