Celebrated our first anniversary at Anthony's restaurant with Debi and Erik...
WASHINGTON PARK
Walked around Washington Park... The land in the background is some of the San Juan Islands... very nice views!!!
DECEPTION PASS
This pass is in between two land masses with an extraordinarily strong current. The first people to see this thought that the current came from a mighty river upstream. Years later when the area was mapped, it was discovered that there was no mighty river, but a very strong ocean current in between two islands, Fidalgo Island and Whidbey Island.. hence the deception...
Next to the pass on Fidalgo Island is Bowman Bay... very nice area...
On Whidbey Island there is an Air Force Base... we got treated to some jets doing "touch and go's".
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA
Drove to two hours north to Vancouver. Spent the day in Stanley Park but did not have time to walk the gardens. The views from the park are really nice...
SAN JUAN ISLAND
An hour ferry ride from Anacortes takes you to Friday Harbor in San Juan Island. This island is about 50 square miles, but as small as it is, you don't have the time to explore it in one day... will be back to spend more time here and some of the other islands...
Lots of boats enjoying the great weather...
Passengers on a "Three Hour Tour"... (Gilligan is taking the picture)
Great views of Mount Baker in the distance...
HARTS PASS, WA
Drove to Harts Pass on "Washington's most dangerous road" to meet the hikers and for Monty join them the last 40 miles to the end at Manning Park, Canada...
Hikers at Harts Pass...
MANNING PARK, BC, CANADA
After finishing the trail at the border, the hikers needed to hike an additional 9 miles to get to Manning Park, Canada where they were picked up...
From here we are heading to Los Alamos, NM to visit Andrew and then back to Houston for a short stay...
