We celebrated Evan's final- yes final- furlough by taking a little road trip up north for a visit. Instead of a three day weekend, it so happened that his flex day fell on the Thursday so we enjoyed a FOUR day weekend! This is really how weekends are meant to be enjoyed. So in the early afternoon of Thursday we started our northward trek. Anacortes bound.
Friday we took off bright and early to catch the 9:30 ferry to San Juan Island- marking Makenna's first ferry ride!
She of course loved every second of it.
Exploring the rocky terrain after a picnic lunch at the Cattle Point Lighthouse day-use area.
Love her expression in this one! She is still very unsure of Bull Kelp. :)

Saturday was spent in the company of sweet friends.
Spending the late morning at the beach with our dear friends and kind hosts.
The best mode of transportation to the beach...piggy-back ride!!

Thank you so much for opening your home to our family for a few days. Allowing us much needed adult time, island time and time spent enjoying three precious girls in one space creating beautiful memories. My only wish is that by the end of the day once the wee ones were asleep that we would have had more energy! It was a time we will not soon forget.
