Washington / Canada Vacation

Well we've been back from vacation for almost a week now and the clamoring for pictures has reached a fevered pitch. The media trucks are blocking traffic on the street and the drone of helicopters ahead makes it impossible to get a good night's sleep. So here go's....
Wait. How about some funny moments from the trip first?
  • Our ferry from Port Angeles, Washington to Victoria, British Columbia was really rolling in the swells of the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The kids were walking around in the ferry and would suddenly get launched toward an immobile pole or chair as the boat rocked from one direction to the other. They got a kick out of not being able to walk in a straight line. Meanwhile, Sarah was struggling to keep her lunch from seeing the light of day.
  • Our ferry from Sidney, Britsh Columbia to Anacortes, Washington made a stop in Friday Harbor in the San Juan Islands. The four of us were at the front of the ferry on the outside passenger deck watching the captain manuever into the dock. Immediately upon the captain blowing the horn Colin flew back to cover in the ferry. Colin provided a really good laugh for some 20 people!
  • All the natives were complaining of the cold temperatures in June. We were grateful for them!

And without further adieu, our slideshow of pictures. Click on "view all images":
