San Juan Islands

Andrea and I just got back from an awesome vacation in the San Juan Islands on Dad's sail boat. We spent five days on the water and even sailed into Victoria Canada. Check out some of our fun photos below.
Marina at Bellingham Washington

Ryan Climbs the mast so we can fly a courtesy Canadian flag into Victoria. Good thing he's not afraid of hieghtsOn the way to Victoria we had some pretty big waves that tries to sink the boat. But we made it through. Six foot waves are not for the faint of stomach. Some of our crew mates got sick (poor mom). Good morning sunshine!

While we were in Victoria we took a bus ride to see the famous Butchart Gardens. This was Andrea's favorite stop.


On our last full day of sailing we finally got to see some whales. These are orca whales, commonly known as killer whales. But they seemed friendly enough.Ryan rows the captain to shore so we can go for a hike on Jones Island.

Julia's got pretty attached to this peice of seaweed. She hauled it al the way back to the boat and even tied is on so it could ride behind us. Weird.

Aaarrrrrrrgggggggg!
