Dr. Neil’s Adventures: Icing on the top
While Dr. Neil was off at Mt. Rain-Here, which I have yet to go to despite having lived here for over a year, I took my cousin-in-law from Ks. and my wife up to Friday Harbor on San Juan Island. Kim and I went there for our first wedding anniversary last year, but that time we were late and just walked on the ferry. This time we got there early enough to take our car over so we could explore the island.
We circled the island. First we stopped at Lime Kiln Lighthouse to try and see some Orca whales, they were all apparently running errands down at Lopez island and wouldn’t be back until later. We didn’t get to see any whales, but we did see a few seals bobbing up and down.
The next stop was Westcott Bay, Kim and Billy are big oyster fans so they bought some fresh oysters and ate them later that night. After that we stopped at the Pelindaba Lavender Farm. Kim loves lavender and needed to buy some gifts for a friends birthday party. We ended up harvesting some fresh lavender and somehow someone managed to buy her some lavender soap and a wand while she was out cutting the lavender. Our last stop for the night was the San Juan Vineyards for some wine tasting and buying. We spent the night up there on the spur of the moment and got a pretty good rate. It was a great weekend.
