Today we made our way to the Washington International Ferry Terminal. We waited a few hours in the line of parked cars to board the ferry until about 10:20 A.M. We drove onto the ferry and headed to Orcas Island. The ferry ride was only a hour, but we enjoyed it. We were passing one of the islands with a fairly large house, it looked like a hunting lodge, a canon suddenly went off from the front porch. The ferry answered the canon with a loud tout from the ferry horn.
As we got off the ferry, we headed to Eastsound, a small town that had shops and our hotel " The Outlook Inn". It has really cute shops and its very touristy. We walked around and ate at an Asian food place called " The Kitchen". The food took forever too come, but to me it was worth the wait. We walked along the beach and noticed Jack picking up tiny crabs. I was surprised he was not afraid. If you picked up big rocks there were a lot of tiny, dark crabs scrambling to get back under the rock. It was a great little beach with lots of shells and crabs. The water was like glass, perfect for kayaking.
We had dinner at the Madrone Bar and Grill; fish and chips, burgers, and crab bisque soup, oh and of course clam chowder. Dad had a beer called "Mac and Jack". We have a great room, more like a suite. Not much of a view but nice accommodations.
