what a summer it’s been so far. lots of fun camping trips (more on that in a separate post) and a super fun trip up to friday harbor to visit my parents. they have their boat there for the entire summer (beginning of may through the end of sept!) and it’s such a wonderful place for them to be, as well as to visit.
it’s an adorable town located on san juan island, the largest of the san juan islands. my parents have their boat at a slip right at the marina in town and it’s just perfect for them. we don’t have to take a car over on the ferry as you can walk to their slip / boat right from the ferry terminal. the town is adorable and it’s hustling and bustling all throughout the summer.
my mom can walk to the grocery store, run errands, etc and they do have their car close by when needed. they will take the boat out often and cruise around to the different islands and their favorite little coves. my dad has his daily kayak outings to check out the local happenings from the water.
dylan slept so well on the boat….even with all the light streaming in.
it’s fun to hang out, spend time on the boat, explore the town and spend quality time with my parents. they sure are living the dream….and they deserve it!
there is an old, blind seal who lives near the dock who LOVES to be fed fish from the little fish market right on the dock. as you can imagine, she is quite well fed.
each time we’ve been out with them, or beachcombing, we constantly scan the water for a sighting of orca whales, but to no avail. we are determined though and next visit we talked about going out on an actual whale watch tour.
I am so thankful and blessed that dylan will have such wonderful memories with my parents.
