4.884 square miles

Last weekend Ronnie, Traci and I paid a small visit to an orphan section of Washington. It's called Point Roberts and the only way to access this oddity is by heading north and then back south. There isn't much to this isolated place besides a few gasoline stations and a grocery store. It's quite a peaceful place due to the nearby border and government presence. According to Wikipedia, the kids that live there have to travel across Canada and back into Washington to attend school. Apparently it's quite easy to cross the border, many houses actually have there own personal door to access the USA.

On our way out of Point Roberts and back to Canada the Immigration official asked us where we came from. I'm not sure if it was a trick question because where else can we come from?
