On Monday, we decided to get out and do a little home-state exploration. The San Juan Islands were our destination, but we are kind of spur-of-the-moment people and we didn't plan well enough. By the time we got out of the house and down to the ferry terminal in Anacortes, it was noon. The next ferry for Orcas Island didn't leave until 1:40 and the only ferry from the island didn't even leave until 8:45 pm, and it is a two hour ferry ride each way. We decided to save that trip for another weekend when we could stay there overnight or at least get an earlier start, and we spent the rest of the afternoon in beautiful Anacortes.
We really loved it there, and found a beautiful beach and park where we could hang out. It was a sunny day and we had such great views of the San Juans that we didn't even feel bad about the change of plan! On the way home, we took the scenic route along lovely Chuckanut Drive, and with all the kids asleep after a busy day in the sun, it was a very peaceful and beautiful drive.
I have never been to a playground in a nicer setting than this one.
The kids loved this spinning thing and spent most of the time on it!
It must be so difficult to be so tall and thin that this a constant problem for you...
It's a problem I wish I had!

How fun! I'd love to live on the west coast. You guys are always having fun!
Fun weekend! That's a great play ground, I've never seen a spinning toy like that before.
Okay, now I am jealous. I love it up there. I really do need to come visit.
What fun outings. Sorry you had a hard week without Garreth- I should have come! Lance ended up not going to California because work has been so crazy for him lately. We are discussing a possible August/September visit. When is good for you guys?
Erin where do you live in Washingtion? Wow it is pretty up there. Is it cold like it is here in Preston? DO you guys get any snow? Is that enough questions for you? Anyway if you ever want to talk about adoption I here when you want to talk about it... Take care. Thanks for hitting me up...
You live in a beautiful state and I love that you take andvantage of it.
So beautiful. Must be nice having so much to do so close to home.
Please call the Travel Channel (or I will) and let them know that the Ratchfords are going to do a new show on the beautiful Northwest! I think you would be a great mix between Samantha Brown and Anthony Bourdain! And with that, please come and see us in PHX anytime!
Looks like you guys have been busy! Cute pics of the kids!
