Peter took Friday off from work. While we waited for our friends to meet us at our house, Peter worked on packing up our (small) car. He managed to fit 98% of everything!
Sheeba is excited and ready for our vacation too!
Here are some pics while we wait, and then go on, our first ferry of the trip
Instead of going on the Edmonds-Kingston Ferry, Gordon and Peter wanted to use the Mukilteo-Whidbey Island, then Whidbey Island-Port Townsend ferry, since neither have ever been on that route. The first ferry ride was quick, with no issues at all. And the drive through Whidbey Island was nice. We approach the line for our next ferry to take us directly to Port Townsend, only to find out we'd have to wait 4 hours for the next ferry because this one takes reservations. WHAT?! Oh, I was so annoyed. But in the end, we realize it was a good thing because as we were waiting, a huge rainstorm came through and passed just before we made it on the ferry. So in actuality, we completely missed all the bad weather, had a gorgeous ferry ride over and was able to set up camp in sunshine.
Our first night camping was relaxing. Camp was set up in no time. Adults worked on dinner (tacos!) while kiddos kept themselves busy, before relaxing the rest of the evening by the campfire.
Good Morning Sunshine!
While Peter cooked up breakfast, Michelle took the boys for a morning trip to the beach. Clifford came back dragging this tire he found, and made Caleb a tire swing.
Heading out to the bunkers and beach
We happened to see a pair of sea otters close to shore.
Back at camp for some s'mores, kite flying and Easter Eggs
