If you look closely, you can see one of the eagles in the middle of the picture.
The eagle was flying in front of Keith in this photo.
This is Cocoa (Mike and Denise's Saint Bernard). He stole my heart!
A view of Friday's Harbor Ferry.
Sunset on the Puget Sound.
Mike and Denise had Keith's dream vehicle.... a real 1973 Land Rover.

July 1 and 2nd
On Tuesday, July 1, Mike and Denise Jones met us at Bowman’s Bay at 9am to do some kayaking. It was a bit foggy, but the tide was low so we went along the coast and saw some caves and kelp paddies. We also viewed 3 majestic eagles perched up in the trees and a few harbor seals. We stayed out in the kayaks for almost 3 hours.
In the afternoon, we took boarded a ferry in Anacortes and visited an island called Friday’s Harbor. Mike and Denise’s youngest son, Ramsey, came along. He can sniff out some great bookstores and we really enjoyed all their great hospitality and company. We had dinner on the island and arrived safely back at the campsite in time for the sunset. We loved their house and their kids and pets. It is amazing that after 20 years, we are still on the same faith journey and really enjoying such great fellowship. THANKS MIKE AND DENISE!!
Today (Wednesday, July 2nd) we got up early to a drizzle of rain. We packed lunches and took a ferry to Port Townsend and then we will drive to Olympic National Park for the day. The weather should be a perfect 72 degrees.
We’ve talked about leaving for home tomorrow early. Camping is getting a little tiring and I am anxious to get back to civilization (with hot water that doesn’t require special tokens or waiting in line to brush my teeth. Also, I can’t wait to use my curling iron again).

I can't believe you are already wanting to get back to regular life! Where's your inner hippie? You need to find her to get you through the rest of the trip! Haha love you!

You are one of the few people who figured out how to comment on this blog.
Yeah....I'm still searching for my inner hippie. She appeared for a short time and then wanted to shave her legs. However, my hair is longer than it has been in years.
We're in Idaho overnight and then back on the road again. Thanks for letting us use the truck. It has been an outstanding performer. I hope you are enjoying the "LV MY WIF" truck. It always brings a smile and a joke.

Checking in on you to make sure you made it safely out of Washington. I was thinking about you the morning you were packing up in our (very rare) thunderstorm. This was not a typical NW rainstorm. Our rainstorms are usually slight drizzle with sun breaks in between . . . and ONLY IN WINTER.
Thanks for stopping by. You are welcome back at any time.
Mike (for Denise and me both).
