Rachel & Ben

Rachel and Ben celebrated their first wedding anniversery with us here in WA.  We spent a day sight seeing in Seattle.  Highlights included the Ballard Locks, the Space Needle, the original Starbuck's and Pike Place Market.  And, of course, no trip to Seattle would be complete without a dinner at the Jolly Roger.  Then we packed up the cars with kayaks, the dog and lots of beverages and headed up to the San Juans.  We rented a sweet cabin on San Juan Island complete with a hot tub.  The highlight of our stay on the island was seeing a pod of orcas at Lime Kiln State Park.  Here are a few photos from our adventures....

Can you believe this was Ben's first time ever getting coffee at a Starbuck's?
