1st Ferry Boat Ride

While in Seattle, we decided to take a ferry boat ride up to the San Juan Islands. We drove to Anacortes which is about 1.5 hrs from Bellevue. From there, we walked on to the boat and took an hour ride up to Friday Harbor. We packed a picnic lunch and ate on the boat. The kids did really well. I love the fact that we can throw anything at them and they just go with the flow. Our entire plan, entirely thought up by Pop Pop, was to go up and get an ice cream cone in Friday Harbor and then come back. The weather was awesome and we could have stayed longer but the next ferry wasn't for 4 hours. Friday Harbor is a very cute quaint town but to walk around for 4 hours, too much especially with 2 2yr olds. We decided after our ice cream to walk over to the docks. We were over by where they sell fish and there was a harbor seal. Poor thing was missing an eye. The kids were waving to him. He was definitely not hurting for food. he must have weighed a ton.I wanna say his name was Seymour. We didn't stay long and it was time to head back to the boat. It was a short stay but we decided we would come back and have more time and stay for the weekend.
