I promised a video, well maybe I didn’t promise but at any rate I don’t have one to share. It’s not looking the way I want it to so I’ll play around with it and hopefully share it soon. Instead I’ll share our day on San Juan Island.

We were staying on Orcas Island so in the morning we had to hop on another ferry to San Juan Island where we were meeting a friend of his dad’s. While we waited for her to arrive Walker and I stumbled upon the farmer’s market where I found the San Juan salt I was hoping to get!

We had lunch and explored an outdoor market and then we set off around the island. Our first stop was an alpaca farm. They were all so cute but my favorite one was the one who seemed to have a love for cameras. See how close he got?! So funny! I would have loved to buy some wool but I already have too much without projects in mind so I figured I had better not.

Next we drove to a park with a seriously amazing view! This is also a spot where whales can be seen but we headed down the road to another location.

The next stop was a little hike in to a lighthouse on a cliff where good whale watching can be had. I didn’t have high hopes for seeing whales so I was pretty shocked when someone said there! A whale! And sure enough there was the unmistakable white and black body surging up out of the water. Even though it was a ways off and looked really small it was amazing. We sat and watched a while longer and Walker let me use his binoculars to see a little better.

Then we headed back to the ferry and back to Orcas Island for the night. Where as you may remember Walker and I were chased by a deer.
