Day 8 - Trip to the San Juan Islands






On Saturday, November 5, we got up at 5:30am so we could get to the ferry at 6:45 to catch the 8:05 Washington State Ferry to Anacortes. Catherine got a cup of coffee and I got a blueberry muffin at the Ferry Landing Cafe. We saw the sunrise as we crossed the Salish Sea.

We found several Geocaches in Anacortes. I got the coordinates and several photos so I could waymark the Guemes Island Ferry Terminal. We got breakfast at McDonalds at 10:20am. We followed Marine Drive along the coastline. We stopped to photograph the Havekost Monument and Deception Pass & Bridge. We had planned to have Afternoon Tea in Coupeville or Mukilteo but both tea rooms were permanently closed. How disappointing!

We rode the 3:00pm ferry from Clinton to Mukilteo. Traffic was slow into Seattle. We purchased sandwiches at Albertsons in Mill Creek at 4:15 which we ate later at a park sitting in the car. We stopped at McDonalds in Tacoma for ice cream at 6:20. We got home about 9:00. It was a great trip but we were glad to be home!
