We love Best Westerns! We know what to expect, love the free continental breakfast and the kids love the pools whether indoor, outdoor, big or small and also the hot tub! So we had breakfast and the kids and dad took a long swim while I took a nap then we packed up. Everyone was tired and no one wanted to take another hike on this trip. I wanted to do the Lighthouse Point Trail, Bowman Bay and Rosario Trail, but that's for next time. Since we were so close to Anacortes, we decided to take the ferry through the San Juans and stop in Friday Harbor for an ice cream cone instead.
Of course, we have this weird thing about making the ferry at the very last minute, and this trip was no different! We were hoping to make the 2pm boat and bought our tickets at 1:58pm...you see the family RUNNING up the passenger walk and we were the very last people on the boat...we departed just minutes after setting foot on the upper deck!
What a gorgeous day...the ride is 65 minutes each way...everyone LOVED it. The fog was so heavy in the morning that boats were delayed but by afternoon it was clear and sunny. John and I have made quite a contribution to the ferry system this summer!
The last photo is an old wreck overgrown with trees...I can't remember the name of the boat repair shop but it is on the main road to the ferry terminal in Anacortes...interesting!
