Leigh and I had a great 16th Anniversary trip last weekend. Found a cozy hotel in Anacortes, WA, stayed two nights on Fidalgo island surrounded by water and beautiful views and the weather was even pretty good! We mostly were just lazy; spending time together at the hotel watching endless episodes of Myth Busters or Dirty Jobs or reading, but we also took a walk through downtown, window shopping a bit and finding nice places to eat. On Saturday, we took a jet boat ride through Deception pass. Nice views, but a pretty tame ride. On Sunday, we went Kayaking. First time for both of us and we took a 3 hour tour around Burrows island, just south of Fidalgo in a two man Kayak. We didn’t annoy each other too badly and got the hang of it pretty well…though we tended to drift off course quite a bit whenever I wanted to take pictures… It was overcast, but not too cold and it didn’t start raining until the trip was over. Nice timing! All in all, a very nice trip. Refreshing to be away from all the cares and responsibilities for a while. Many thanks to the families who hosted our kids over this weekend!
