In my (humble) opinion, there is no place more beautiful in the entire world than the San Juan Islands in Washington State. The water, beaches, tree-lined islands, mountains in the background! A ferry crossing by (if you’re lucky, maybe an orca!) – it’s breathtaking. Now, I realize I’m a native pacific northwest girl, and I’m a bit partial… but even if you don’t totally agree with me, a day trip to Friday Harbor is still a great way to visit the San Juans.

With a 35-minute ferry ride and a half-mile walk into Winslow you can even make it home for nap time! Read on to see how our family enjoys a sunny day on Bainbridge.
