Anacortes and the ferry to Orcas Island

We were surprised to see the change in Anacortes. It's really a pretty town without the former "industrial" look. We especially liked "Anthony's Seafood" restaurant.

A Golden Retriever Doodle on board. Nice dog!







First stop - Shaw Island



Greetings from Orcas island

On the way to Kathy's. It's been about 20 years since we had last visited.

On our way to Olympia, Washington


Columbia River






   We continued on Highway 101 through Raymond, Washington. This giant catamaran caught our eye and we had to snap some photos.



Historic Olympia -
Washington's Capital


Roxanne & Boojie's historical home

We had been talking about visiting with our Grover camping friends for years. We finally made it.

Beautiful and delicious breakfast by Chefs Boojie & Roxanne
