My mom and I headed to the islands today. It was only about an hours drive (maybe less?) from downtown Seattle till we were at the small ferry town outside of Everett. We decided that lunch inland would be cheaper than island grub, so we tried our luck at a Mexican food place by the shore. The food was pretty good, not extra traditional or anything, but tasty none the less. We finished lunch and took Phoenix for a walk around the small neighborhood by the restaurant.
We queued up to get on the ferry and once on, went to check out the upper deck. The trip to the first island was only about 15-20 mins long, but it was nice to sit and let someone else drive for a little while :) We drove from island town to island town all day - occasionally getting pretty turned around on the old city streets. There were lots of opportunities to get out of the car and explore the beaches and beautiful views.

As night fell, and we found our way to a really cool hotel set right into a hill side over looking the water. Its beautiful here! We're less than a mile away from the ferry we will take in the morning to get over to the San Juan Islands. Had a fantastic dinner at the Rock Fish Grill, a cozy little place on the main drag. I had a home made veggie burger and a couple local beers brewed on the island!
