Anniversary Trip to the San Juan Islands

Myles and I had our third anniversary on August 28th, but because of school and our crazy schedules we postponed our celebration of it until labor day weekend and went on a really fun over night trip to the San Juan Islands. It's about an hour drive and then an hour on the ferry, but it's worth the travel. I'd never been on a ferry that long before, but it was really relaxing and the scenery was extremely beautiful. We stayed at a cute little Bed and Breakfast, went on walks around the tourist town, took a bike ride (we are so out of shape), and ate at a fancy Mexican restaurant...ok it wasn't that fancy and it had a t.v. playing the UW football game so needless to say Myles had a hard time staying focused on me and we had a really romantic dinner, just kidding, it was great! Anyways we had a fabulous time and we just wanted to share some of the pictures with you guys. Oh and we would also like to give a special thanks to Myles' parents for watching Olivia and spoiling her like crazy so that she didn't even miss her Mom and Dad while we were gone.




On our ferry ride. You gotta love Myles' famous crazy eyes! He laughs every time he sees this picture.




Outside on the deck of the ferry before we docked. It was really windy.





In front of our cute B&B. The room was great, breakfast was delicious, and the owners were so nice.





Getting ready for our bike ride. Myles said he refused to wear a helmet, but when he saw the pink one he couldn't resist.





I don't think I'd been on a bike for like five years, but I did all right.



"We did it!" We went on a ride that loops around the entire harbor, like 8 miles or something and even though most of it is flat, there were times when we were struggling and our legs felt like they were on FIRE! We came to the conclusion that we're really out of shape and need to excercise a whole lot more.

Right before we left we got some killer ice cream (it was really good!!) and paused for a photo on the pier. We had such a great time but we were also very excited to get back to our little Livy.

Sounds like you had a great time. I love seeing everybody's updates. I love the pink helmet. What a great picture. Olivia is getting so big. I love to see the things she is doing.
