| We're currently taking a ferry ride over to get to the San Juan Islands! Yesterday the weather was rainy and gray, but it looks like things managed to clear up nicely! | Julie and Jeffey (what kinda name is Jeffey?!) just got married. Our car starts to vibrate a lot from the ship's engine, so we decide to take a gander upstairs. |

| Emma, giving her trademark "You wanna piece of me, punk?" look, as she inspects the bed. | At the Tucker House Bed and Breakfast, we got to choose from a wide variety of delicious breakfast options. Juice, hot cocoa, warm muffins, bagels, egg custards, fresh fruit mixes? Yes, I'll have one of each. |

| Myself in front of the Tucker House, a refurbished 19th century home. The room we stayed at is called "Dove in the Window" and is at the 2nd floor window above my head. It came with a 2 person heart shaped jacuzzi. Too bad more places don't have hot tubs :( | This is a view overlooking the harbor. The town is quite small. There are about 5 restaurants total, with only about 2 good restaurants. The others are so so burger joints or bars. |

| Most of the shops next to the harbor cater to tourists with whale watching and outdoor tours. However most were closed since we are visiting at off season. | Our view from the dove in the window: A beautiful little park with outdoor pagoda is opposite the street. |

| When touring around the island, there are two main national parks here. One is American camp, the other is British camp on the opposite side of the island. | Mt. Baker stands proudly in the distance. A mini Cold War was fought between the American and British over San Juan Island. The only casualty: a British pig shot by an American farmer. |
