San Juans

Saturday, March 20, 2010

So on one of our times away we headed up to the tip of Washington to the San Juan islands for a couple of days. After we missed our first ferry I noticed that we weren't too far from Bellingham , which when we did the research a year ago, is the the home to the only Chic-Fil-A in the state of Washington. So we headed to Western Washington University with watering mouths and Jake walked a mile in the pouring rain to the student union to buy us these treats. We realized how far removed we are from college now and how silly we felt on a college campus, but it was worth the golden crispy chicken sandwich and waffle fries. Yum! We then headed back to our ferry where the rain decided to stop and we enjoyed our ride to Friday Harbor. We immediately went to the western coast of the island where during the summer killer whales are supposed to hang out. There was hardly another person around, let alone whales. We had fun taking pictures and taking in the scenery. We decided to look for a place to stay which took us driving on almost every road on the southern end of the island. We never could find anything and ended up staying at the Best Western instead! The next morning as we were driving to the northern part of the island we found all the hotels! Anyways, we loved our time on the island and can't wait to bring the family back in the summer to see if we can spot some whales. I've decided I'm pretty much obsessed with Flickr slideshows at the moment so here is our San Juan adventures...
