We somehow landed the best babysitting job ever and got to join Sarah and Jon on their trip to San Juan Island for their friends' wedding. The weather couldn't have been more perfect. The Pacific Northwest (and our loved ones here) are doing their best to show off all the gorgeousness this region has to offer.

| En route to San Juan Island |
On the Friday of Labor Day weekend, we all packed in the car and drove up to Anacortes, Washington where we boarded the ferry to Friday Harbor on San Juan Island. The ferry itself was a stark change from those we were accustomed to in SE Asia, but feeling safe on board was a pleasant change! There was so much to look at from the boat and Anna was just in heaven seeing the birds, water and running laps around the passenger deck.

After a short 1.5 hours on the ferry, we arrived in Friday Harbor and had a quick lunch before driving to the other side of the island to the resort. The resort was far larger than I had anticipated and Jon and Sarah's cottage was on a huge open field near the pool, tennis courts and waterfront. It was a perfect place for a wedding or any large family event. I would love to go back again!

Some other wedding guests had a 4-month-old baby and since we were already babysitting Anna, we thought it'd be fun to watch the baby, too. Anna adores everything 'baby' and she had a blast playing with little Parker for the night - and so did we!

The cottages were also situated near the resort's small airport and it was endlessly entertaining to watch the planes land and take-off.

On our way back to the ferry, we stopped at a viewpoint which is apparently a good spot for whale watching. We didn't have much luck in the whale department, but it was a great look out and nice place to take some photos to remember this awesome long weekend trip with our family.
