It’s been almost 14 years but Larry and I finally
returned to the San Juan Islands! The last time we were here it was for just a
couple of days. This time we are here for a week! I hope to fill the days with
fun and relaxation. Oh and also find time for homework. Our plan is to do some
biking, hiking, golfing, eating, shopping, site seeing and relaxing. We plan to
visit a couple of the other islands and bike around them also.
We took off early Saturday morning headed first to
Mt. Vernon to meet up with our son Joshua, his wife Jackie and grandson Ryker.
After we were treated to some yummy ice cream cones at a farmer’s type market
there we all drove to Anacortes, WA to catch the Ferry to Orcas Island. We
arrived about 40 minutes before the ferry left the dock and it took about an
hour to get to Orcas Island. Jackie and Ryker were riding a ferry for the very
first time. It’s always a joy to watch people to experience something different
and fun in life for the first time.
The boat docked and we drove off.
Joshua,
Jackie and Ryker walked on and off so after picking them up we headed out to
find the condo we were staying in. About 15 minutes later we arrived and got
all checked in. We are staying at Westsound in Deer Harbor, WA at our Worldmark
resort in a studio deluxe. It’s a nice place. The view is nice but would be
better with a couple of trees out of the way. We also have a hot tub on the
deck that will get some good use this week.
We explored our condo and got everything unloaded. We had bunnies greet us. They were fun to see all week around the condo's.
We then drove up to Eastsound. It’s the main city on the Island. Orcas Island is
shaped like a horseshoe and it’s at the top of the horseshoe. Ryker was
starving so we were looking for a pizza place. And. We. Found. The. Best.
Pizza.
Portofino Pizza on A Street. Larry and I will definitely be going back
there to eat this week. It was dark and almost time for Joshua, Jackie and
Ryker to catch the ferry back to Anacortes so we took them to the terminal. It
was great to be able to spend time with them. We are hoping they’ll be able to
make it back this next Friday to stay and play the whole day. Joshua has the
day off and they live close to Anacortes.
When we got back I needed to get the Larry’s
laptop running so he could get his assignment for his Book of Mormon religion
class turned in before midnight. We were both so tired that it was a struggle
but we were able to get it all done. Sleep claimed us both pretty quickly and
we didn’t complain at all.
