Our story begins, as it ends, at Dad's Diner in Anacortes.
We were early, and our ferry was an hour late.
Riding on the ferry on a clear night was beautiful. So many stars.
Making an unscheduled stop at Lopez Island.
The boat crew announced we were stopping to pick up one idiot who got off on the wrong island. Then that guy had to drive on and park facing the wrong way so everyone could see who made our boat even later than it was.
Nice to wake up in an Airbnb full of family.
Quick trip to the beach down the road where we could make sure and throw rocks in the water.
Nice view of Mt Baker from the north end of Orcas.
You could see across to the Rockies in BC.
We had our fill of throwing rocks into water.
It was time to change things up and throw some logs into water.
We rented some Kayaks and were off to find the mythic Ohio Island.
We saw an otter, lots of birds, a curious seal.

Another attempt at a holiday card photo. Not bad!
At the tower on top of Moran Park.
We decided to do a little hiking in the park and see some old trees and waterfalls.
