I'm a little late on this one, but Jordan and Kristen came out for a visit over a week ago. They spent the first few days with us. We had a lovely brunch with Kristen's sister and brother in law followed by an extremely lazy day which was amazing. Sunday morning we were a little more productive and headed out early to catch a ferry out to Orcas Island. Jordan and Kristen were planning on spending a couple of nights camping on the island, so we joined them for the first day at least. We spent the day hiking up Mt Constitution. Technically you can actually just drive to the top if you're lazy, but you'd miss out on all the lovely scenery on the way up it! It was a pretty brutal hike after about half way up when it decided to get super steep! It was definitely worth it though!



We took a different route on the way back down, which was also quite amazing.

 

Ryan, Ben, and I were planning on jumping on a 5:20 ferry to head back to Seattle. We knew the ferries filled up pretty quickly for return trips since they're the only way off the island so we got to the ferry line about an hour early. Turns out that wasn't early enough! Phooey! We missed getting on that very by 3 cars! Unfortunately the next ferry was a little after 8pm, so we had about 3 hours to kill before we got to go home. Luckily there are several little restaurants and bars right by the ferry line, so we could at least grab some supper and a glass of wine. That made the wait a little easier ;)
