Through the rise and falling apart, we discover who we are.

Ok, I have some pictures ready.  I think I'm going to end up with 4 different entries - 3 from San Juan Island and 1 from Orcas Island.  So I hope you all like pictures

This first entry is mainly pictures I took from our room, and a couple others in town or on our way to the island.

So, here we go...

First off is a view looking toward the town of Anacortes while we were waiting to board the ferry heading for the islands.

After waiting like 2 or 3 hours to get on the ferry (we just missed the previous one) and then a ferry ride of about an hour-and-a-half, it was dark when we finally got to the Friday Harbor House in Friday Harbor on San Juan Island, WA.

The room was amazing.  We had a corner room on the third floor with a full wall-and-a-half of windows overlooking the harbor.  Not to mention, we had a fireplace and oversized jetted tub.  Nice!

The next morning was sunny and beautiful, and the view from our room was amazing.  The rest of these pictures, with the exception of the last one, were all taken from our room. 

The ferries are larger than I ever imagined they would be.  There can load two levels of cars.

 

If you look back to my previous entry, you can see a nice little sitting area to the bottom left.  There was a sundial out there that caught my wife's attention.

The harbor was filled with boats, which always make some good pictures, especially when they're surrounded by evergreens.  One of my best pictures of the harbor is the one I previously posted.

 

That's all for now.  The next entry will cover our whale watching trip.  There weren't any whales, but plenty of other wildlife and scenery to make it a lot of fun.
