It is when I look at this little picture that I realize time really doesn't stand still. As a matter of fact, it seems to speed up! Look at the girls now!
But when we are there, without cell phones, TV and distractions, we explore, play, read and rest and love the slow and simple life...for a week.
Good food continued via Geoff. On our second day there Geoff was prepping some pizzas...
...when Tennie came hobbling up from the low tide saying she had cut her foot while exploring the tide pools. We didn't think much of it until she lifted her foot and blood dripped to the ground in a steady stream! So we took her to get stitches. (Scroll quickly if you get queasy.)
It required a thorough washing and eight stitches.
Poor Tennie was off her feet the rest of the trip.
Geoff was her transportation, when needed, until he nearly threw his back out. Then she hobbled around with a stick.
Sunsets are our favorite part of the day.
The third day our dear friends the Serafins, who were neighbors for a few years when we lived in Redmond, came for the day. Our kids have remained friends all these years, and Ashley and I seem to never have enough time to catch up on things. Ashley is one of my favorite people. She provided the pictures from their visit.

The rest of our visit was slow and chill.

On our last day, with a little spare time before catching the ferry, we explored San Juan Island a little. We stopped by the British Camp.
We did the short hike to the lighthouse.

We stayed overnight with the Wells in the Boise area before settling back in for the busy weeks ahead.
