We spent 2 nights at the Grand Pacific Hotel, across the bay from the Empress Hotel. We played tourists for a couple of days in this beautiful city.

It was another ferry from Victoria Island back to Anacortes. On the way we stopped by Friday Harbor.

Once in Anacortes, we drove right up the hill to Patrick and Laura’s to spend another late night.

On the way south, we stopped at Ana and Rauno’s for a couple more nights. More wine tasting and then a turkey dinner with some friends. What a great time! The next day we drove the rest of the way home.
