Times and Seasons

JULY 30, 2012 - MONDAY

Today we left around 10:00 am to go to Anacortes to catch the Ferry to Friday Harbor.  This is a very fun place to visit and a very beautiful setting on the San Juan Island.

There were many, many Egrets (I think) nesting in the pilings at the ferry dock in Anacortes.  This was just one mother with her 3 chicks.  I don't know how they stay on some of the ledges or what would happen if one fell off into the ocean. They are young enough they don't have feathers and are very lanky.

We have been seeing this sail boat from a distance since we came back to Bellingham.   It looks like a small pirate ship.  It is very cool looking and here we saw her in full sail.  She is brown and blue in color.

A view from an open cafe just across from the dock where we stopped for a burger.  Walk-on passengers are always let on and off before the vehicles unload.

Another view towards the marina.

All but Dad went to the whale museum before we returned to the ferry.  Here we are waiting to get back on the ferry.  We had to wait for the vehicles all to load because we were shopping for two whales and missed the first loading.

Looking out over the marina.

We stopped at Panda Express on the way home and got take-out.  We were all tuckered out after a great day!
