After driving up to Seattle late Friday night, we stayed at our friends Bobby and Michelle's place. Michelle was out of town, but Bob was a great host. He must have sensed my butter/flour addiction, because he took us to a fantastic little pastry shop in Ballard on Saturday morning. Apricot galette, anyone?
After a tasty breakfast, we drove to Anacortes to catch a ferry to Orcas Island. I think this is when the vacation mentality was really beginning to take hold. There's nothing to do on a ferry except read, play a few games of Sudoku, and stare out the window.
We were on Orcas Island to attend a wedding at Rosario Resort. Another 5 star wedding! This is the view from the wedding site:
The morning after living it up with bridal party and friends, we hopped on our friends sail boat. They were on a week-long sailing trip in the San Juans, and agreed to meet us in the harbor where we were staying. It was my first time on a sail boat, and man was it exhilarating! I even got to steer!
We sailed on in to Roche Harbor on the San Juan Island. What a beautiful little town.
We enjoyed the sun, the sunset, a few cans of beer, a fantastic dinner, and the company of great friends.
I think I just got a small taste of my dream retirement.
