I absolutely love

Friday Harbor!

We enjoyed a getaway on a groupon there in early October.  We stayed at the Earthbox Inn and had fun exploring the town and beach.

Some of the parks were closed because of the government shutdown, but luckily Lime Kiln Park is a state, not federal, park so it was open.

 We went to a lovely Thai restaurant before heading home.

 Ava got a rock skipping lesson from an expert....

 One of the great things about islands is that getting there and back is half the fun!
