San Juan Trip: Days 6-8

Day 6: Happy Birthday Timmy! Today Tim turned 45! Friday Harbor was foggy this morning and after a stop for Tim's breakfast fritter and coffee, we headed northwest to Roche Harbor. Once we docked up, we took the kids for a short hike to the Mauseleum. Then we had a rousing game of Bocce Ball, where the boys beat the girls (whatever!). Dinner was unexciting and then back to the boat. Kaitlyn had an allergic reaction to something and broke out in hives and her eye swelled. We gave her benadryl and off to sleep she went. The boys rented a movie and I finished my 4th book of the trip. I have no idea what I'm going to do on Day 7, as I am now out of reading material!
Day 7: It's a sunny morning in Roche Harbor, no real fog, which is great. There was a few minutes of sprinkles (like 3) and then the sun came out. We are starting our journey home today, with a stop at LaConner for the night. Tim has sort of planned our route, so we'll see if we run into any issues. It was smooth sailing through Deception Pass and into LaConner, which is a cute, but sleepy town. We found a mexican restaurant for dinner, Derek rented another movie, and I bought book #5 for the trip.
Day 8: Going home! The weather has been overcast and crappy since Tuesday. We are all tired and want to go home. We stopped for lunch in Edmonds and then back through the Locks to Lake Washington. It is slow going and makes you crazy when you know you are close to home. After a quick stop at Gram's to pick up Bailey, we pulled in about 9:00. I have piles and piles of laundry to do....but it can wait until morning.
