We took the ferry to Orcas Island. Amelia loved it and wanted to hang over the edge of the railing for the whole trip. But we decided against it. The cabin is across the island near Doe Bay Resort. We had cocktails and dinner with Jeff and Ann that night up at their place. They have such a beautiful place and we were thrilled to have some adult time with them. Truly a perfect way to start a vacation! The next day Jeff gave us a tour of his studio. He has a lovely arrangement including three looms (is that right? or were there four?) for weaving anything from art to rugs (and some artful rugs to boot). Pretty incredible!
We spent most of the week lounging around. Fortunately the beach was just a short walk and spent a lot of time there. Amelia re-arranged the rocks on her beach with her new bucket. She REALLY loves that bucket and took it everywhere with her.
Amelia was busy walking those days and we did a lot of this...
We managed to make it out to the Moran State Park for a little hike, vista point, and swimming at the lake. Amelia had a ball with her bucket. She really seems to love the water. Even though she does not looked thrilled in these pictures- she was just getting warmed up.
Back at the beach, Amelia discovered her first low tide animals. There were some crabs and anemones hiding in the rocks. Turns out the anemones were not hiding very well and once she discovered that poking them resulted in water squirting out, she was delighted.
It was a great week. Very relaxing. Just what we needed!
