Orcas Island

I am also thankful this Thanksgiving that I have time to finally post about some of our amazing trips that we took this summer.  We enjoyed a fabulous trip to Orcas Island in the San Juan Islands to celebrate my friend Becky's birthday.  We lounged in the sun, ate lots of great food, hiked, took a whale watching trip and took in the views from Mt. Constitution.  You can see all the way into Canada on a clear day.  We had a wonderful time and can't wait to go back.

About to board the Orcas Express.
The trip was so beautiful and very informative.  The crew are marine scientist and were the original whale tour guides all the way back from Free Willy!
Enjoying the sun!
