a weekend trip, 1


a few weekends ago jon and i made a getaway to the san juan islands. we may have gotten some funny looks for going up there in january, but the 3 hour ferry lines and packed campsites in the summer really make the quiet and cold winter very appealing. the ferry ride is an hour long and almost a trip in itself. we played set and took pictures and walked laps around the boat. halfway through the ride i felt like i was going to some far away, exotic location with the way the ferry slowly weaved us through islands. here is my first set of pictures.

  1. My favorite place ever! I went to Lopez Island last summer for a few days and stayed at a friend's house. All we did was hike trails around the island. It was such a magical place. Loved it!

  3. I can't wait to see more! I've never been there but would love to go.. I wonder how packed it is in Spring..maybe not too bad since it will almost certainly be raining ; )

    Anyway winter was a good idea, the photos look so calm.
