((quickie)) lopez island trip

I'm actually writing a blog post about something we did- gasp- today. The only conceivable reason is because I really don't feel like researching and reading articles for the paper I am supposed to write. (Topic: Should universal gestational diabetes screening be the standard of care or should we screen based on risk factors?) I'm not really in the mood, so instead I think I'll post some pictures from our Lopez island trip today- we met dad, Sigrid, and Aunt Aime (it was her birthday) out there at a campsite and spent the day on the beach and enjoying a yummy dinner, wine, and champagne. They were spending the night but due to an accidental work scheduling snafu, we had to take the ferry back tonight. We still got some fun sand time in though.

One thing I do love about Western Washington is the ferry system we have here. They may have ferries elsewhere, but our ferry system is pretty awesome. We ate some crap ferry food and enjoyed the views of the gorgeous San Juans. You can see one of the ferry boats here...

Once we got to the camp site, we took a little walk through the woods to explore the beach. The girlies had a really fun time, although they did see a snake (ugh). 

 

 Next to the beach there was a wetlands sanctuary...so beautiful :-)

 The beach had a few jellyfish washed up on it; the girls were very intrigued...

 There were also a ton of seashells. The girls filled up a bag each of seashells to bring home. Not entirely sure if that's kosher, but oh well. They sure had fun. 

 

This sleepy girl liked being backpacked around all day :-)

It was a fun trip, as it always is when we go out to the San Juans, and we'll be back for sure.
