After a grueling semester and an overwhelmingly awesome weekend celebration, Ela needed a getaway to a lovely, quiet resort in the San Juans.
Our tiny, tiny cabin — it measured probably only 100 square feet on the inside, but it had a kitchenette, a bathroom, and running water. Ours was the middle one.
Despite the amenities, it was way too small for us. This picture shows the cabin, wall to wall. Mom was standing on the back wall to shoot the picture, so, as you can see, the space was tiny. Note how the playpen is right up against the bed. What you can't see is that it was also right up against the built-in booth on the other side. It was a super cute space, but too small for three.
While we were on Orcas Island, we drove up to the top of Mt. Constitution in Moran State Park. We climbed all the way to the top of the watchtower at the top of the mountain and got really great views of all of the islands. Mom made Dad and Ela stand too far back from the edge to see anything, but it was a nice climb anyway.
Dad and Carmela play outside in front of the restaurant where we ate dinner the first night and breakfast the next morning. It was outrageously expensive, but the food was pretty good, and most of it is caught or grown right on site or nearby on the island. Even though it was chilly, Mom and Dad decided to eat dinner outside the first night so Carmela could crawl around, pick at gravel and try to sneak it into her mouth (not on Mom's watch ...), and explore a tree trunk.
Carmela checks out the scenery during her first ferry boat ride.
The view from the top of the mountain, or the top of the watchtower — Mom can't remember now.
The Doctors.
