Every year Ryan's family goes on a vacation to the San Juan Islands, specifically Orcas Island. The San Jauns are a small chain of islands accessible only by ferry boat in the Northern part of the Puget Sound on the Canadian border. I can't really even explain how beautiful it is in Orcas Island, the pictures below will have to be my words. It is also the most relaxing place! There is no cell phone service, as when you arrive to the Beach Haven resort area your phone tells you, "You are now in Canada", and no TV. Reading, Kayaking, Hiking, Exploring sea life,Board games, trips into town are the highlights of every day here. Honestly I can not put into words what an incredible place this is. Be warned there are a LOT of pictures. Enjoy! And if you EVER get the chance please go to the San Juans!

Little island for good fishing affectionately called "Goose Poop Island" by the kids
Gone Fishin' to Goose Poop - truth is we caught a lot of jellyfish and not so many real fish

Yes a fairy princess skirt is a necessary accessory to a bathing suit!

Unbelievable view from the summit of Mt. Lookout a view to all the San Juan Islands
Last sunset at Orcas, I think this may be what heaven looks like
Orcas Island was one of our favorite getaways too! So many places to visit in the great Northwest.
