friday harbor

the last day of our trip was spent on the island of San Juan. 

The moment you step on the island you meet a little touristy town called Friday Harbor.

This was my favorite place that we visited.

after a 2 hour ferry boat ride, you can discover the entire island in about an hour drive.

 

the end!

i am so grateful for my family and the opportunity to travel with them. this was our little family's first family vacation with just the 3 of us. my heart was full the entire time. my life now is what i have been looking forward to for a long time. i have been waiting to have a family of my very own to make memories with and go on adventures with that bring us closer together. i absolutely love these pictures, but i also love the non- pictured moments that these pictures remind me of. these 4 days away gave me and daron the opportunity to put aside our busy lives and have time to just talk.                       we talked about really important things,-  things that have been weighing heavily on me since becoming a mom -                  and also talked about light hearted things,                                that made us laugh, a lot. this trip reminded me how much i want a close family that relies on each other for support and is always there for each other. i know whether a family is close really depends on day to day decisions. but i also think getting away, taking a breather, and taking time to do things that are out of the ordinary can be so uplifting. the trip to anacortes is sure to be one we never forget!p.s.- a huge thank you to my father and mother-in-law for helping so much to make this trip happen. thank you!! and we love you!
