San Juan Saturday


After arriving home in Seattle at midnight Friday night, I was picked up bright and early Saturday morning at 5:35AM to head up to Friday Harbor on San Juan Island. It was Engagement Party Weekend for my dear friends Amy McKenna & John Weaver at Amy's father's home on Dream Lake.

And what a dream it was to be oh so welcomed back to the beautiful NW by an 80 degree day, a ferry ride in one can arguably be on of the most incredible land/seascapes in the world, and dear friends who I'd been longing to see for weeks.

We spent the afternoon enjoying the sun, a hot pancake breakfast, Kubb -- an awesome Swedish lawn bowling/chess/horseshoes game, adult beverages, Amy's extended family, John's family, an oyster/clam/salmon bake, and many old & new friends.

It was an awesome day that saw us race to last Seattle-bound ferry. Jace and I slept like babies on the ride home from an exhaustingly wonderful day. It was the perfect welcome back to the NW altogether.

I'm ho-ome!
