San Juan Islands

For our 10 year anniversary we took off to the San Juan Islands for the weekend. We just drove 5 hours north into Washington State and rode a ferry to Friday Harbor. 

On the ferry at night. 

The next day we explored the island and collected some rocks. 

Victoria BC is behind me on the other side of the water. 

The view from our roof top. We enjoyed watching the ferry come in while drinking hot chocolate to stay warm. 

Our last night on the Island we went out to dinner, but had to make a quick stop when we spotted some Orcas in the water. 

The whale season is from April to October and we were considered lucky to see a whole pod in November. We could hear them breathing through their blow holes. It was amazing.

Leaving Friday Harbor

And to round off our trip we stopped at Pikes Market to shop. 

It was great to get away, just the two of us. Time to relax and just being together is a rare treat as parents. I treasured every moment of it.
