JD and I have finally downloaded our anniversary trip pictures from August. We stayed at Doe Bay Resort on Orcas Island, where we were married last year, for two days and then moved on to San Juan Island the last night.
We had the opportunity to take the ferry to Lopez Island and bike around on a glorious day. Our favorite stop was at the Lopez Island winery where we tried their 2005-6 wines. We thought that their Madeleine Angevine was the best and decided to relax on their property and enjoy a bottle.
This is me after some Madeleine Angevine, a nice bike ride, and the BEST Reuben sandwich I will ever have! Have I ever looked so radiantly happy?
San Juan Island was our least favorite stop, but we still managed to find some nice wine at the San Juan Vineyards where they were hosting a vintage car convention. We had dinner at a pub right off of the ferry dock where I sampled a number of their beers. The most unusual was their jalapeno beer. Yikes! Glad I only had two ounces of it! The food was not as good as the cafe on Lopez, but in the spirit of our successful Reuben adventure, we ordered a side of their homemade sauerkraut.
The San Juan campsite was not what we had expected, and if it hadn't been for the fact that we had already paid their exorbitant camping fee we probably would have found someplace else. It was all families and RVs cramped together in little campsites with no privacy. Oh, well, we found ways to amuse ourselves...
