Visiting San Juan Island

Dear friends Ron and Melanie Kuhnel drove up to Whidbey Island to spend 4 delightful days with us. They arrived Tuesday afternoon and we kept an ambitious schedule. The next morning, promptly at 7:15 AM they picked us up to take us to the ferry terminal for a trip through the San Juan Islands. Our stop today is on San Juan Island, and the first thing we did was to visit the Whaling Museum.

Our next stop was at Roche Harbor, and the beautiful old hotel where we enjoyed lunch.

Our next stop was at the Alpaca Farm, but due to the rain, no usable pictures were taken. From here, we went to the British Camp, but it hadn't opened yet for the season, and again, the rain prevented decent pictures. From the British Camp, we drove to the American Camp, which is pretty plain as compared to the British Camp, and then backtracked to the Lime Kiln Light House, usually an excellent whale watching point. No whales swam by today. Bob did get one group picture in front of one building housing displays (also closed) prior to going back to Friday Harbor for our return ferry. What an awesome day!
