Harbor Holiday









I wanted to share some pictures from my weekend visit to Friday Harbor on San Juan Island. It was perfect weather, making for a beautiful ferry ride over. We visited a few local farms, ate some great food, and got up close and personal with one of my favorite creatures, the alpaca. Thankfully, there was no spitting. If you're in the Northwest, the San Juan Islands are a beautiful little getaway.

And in other news, Vivi of Hiving Out is the winner of the ring from PlumeDesigns. Congrats! Stay tuned for another giveaway next week!

  21. Love your photos! Where did you eat? The Doctor's ice cream shop is my wife's favorite, right by the ferry landing. I prefer the seafood restaurant next door. Did you see any Orcas?
