During last weekend's Seattle visit, we spent Saturday exploring the largest of the San Juan Islands, Orcas.
To get there, we drove an hour and a half north of Seattle to the ferry terminal in Anacortes and boarded a Washington State Car Ferry for the hour long ride. Not to worry though, Will had Mighty-O donuts in tow to keep Marge enlarged.
Stopping first at the most rural of the three major islands, Lopez. A little bit of trivia: Washington State Ferries operates the largest ferry fleet in the United States. 21 ferries cross Puget Sound and its inland waterways, carrying over 23 million passengers. From Tacoma, Washington, to Sidney, British Columbia, we travel up and down the Sound, acting as a marine highway for commercial users, tourists and daily commuters alike.
After lunch, a belly shot and a bucking doe ride in the largest village on Orcas, Eastsound, we spent some time exploring.
Will was chased by some natives (practice for the future) and we took in the local museum but ditched the tour guide after taking 35 minutes to tour one room of the 6 room establishment.
We then drove to the top of Mount Constitution, the highest point in the Islands and arguably the best view in Puget Sound. 
When it's sunny. Saturday wasn't. After exploring the peak, we had to hustle back to the ferry for the trip home. Rain on the ride back meant that Mary played her first game of euchre.
And once back at the homestead, it was time for some R&R. Will and his new best pals, Toby and Matilda, took in a great flick, The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia.
It was a great trip to see great friends. Thanks, James and Mary, for being such gracious hosts! We owe you one...
