Orcas Island
August 10-12, 2005
In the middle of a week of vacation in the summer, we head up to the San Juan Islands with our friends Satoru and Hiroko Nakanishi. They've recently moved from Japan to Vancouver, BC, so that Satoru can study there, and we've been looking forward to showing them some more of the Pacific Northwest. Since it's been a while since our last trip to Orcas Island, a trip there seems in order.
Half the fun of a San Juan Islands trip is getting there...
Hiroko and Satoru at the Anacortes ferry terminal
Anya loves ferry rides
Liya enjoys the ferry ride too, although perhaps not so much the part
with all the wind
Pulling into the Orcas Island dock
Our rented minivan thankfully comes with a DVD player that entertains
the girls during the final drive across Orcas
We finally arrive at our hotel, a small place called Cascade Harbor
House
At dusk deer are everywhere around the hotel, which Anya thinks is
pretty neat
