Orca's Island August 2008 - Arriving

We recently returned from 5 days on Orca's Island in Washington state. This was our 25th wedding anniversary trip.

The San Juan Islands are Beautiful this time of year. We often ponder retiring there. However, I suspect the shorter winter days along with cold & wind might not be as appealing as it is in August. We will have to visit another time of year & see.

We fly into Seattle the night before, then drive to Anacortes where we stay at the Ship Harbor Inn for the night. The next morning we take the early (7:45) car ferry from Anacortes to Orca's with a stop at Lopez Island and sometimes Shaw's Island.
