Orcas Island Birthday Weekend

This weekend we celebrated my birthday by going to Orcas Island, one of the San Juan Islands which are a part of the state of Washington.   

 While we waited for our ferry, we decided to stop at an Italian restaurant in Anacortes called Ciao Bella.  The food was great here and the dessert was even better.  Alia ordered a lemon sorbet and it came in a frozen lemon.  Tiramisu, which is one of my favorites was also really good at this restaurant.  It's an hour ferry ride to Orcas from Anacortes.


Fun on the ferry


It was a beautiful ride winding through all of the islands.  We had amazing fall weather the whole weekend.

 We visited Moran State park on Orcas which is where Mount Constitution is. We had a spectacular view of Mt Baker, Mt Rainer and Canada.

 The tower you can climb to get an even better view.

 Evening sunshine on the deck while we make supper.  

 The sunset on West Beach was so pretty.


We spent the night around the campfire telling stories and watching the stars.
