Day 149 - The start of a rainy holiday weekend

Again, still not caught up on my posts, so I'm writing this 2 weeks later.  Maybe it will actually be short and sweet, but I doubt it!  Just for the record, for the next 4 days when we are on the boat, we are not more than 24ft away from each other.  That's togetherness in my book.  Oh yeah, we actually did interact with each other too.

Day 149 - off to the islands, the San Juans, that is.  Deer Harbor on Orcas Island was our destination.  We were meeting up with Tobin, Tara, and Teagan.  We knew we were in for a rainy weekend and we'd have to get outside pretty much anytime it wasn't raining. We got settled in and then I took off for a 4 mile run.  The girls got to go on a dinghy ride with Daddy and played some Spinge Bob UNO.  I have only taken short walks from this marina, so I wasn't sure what the running situation was going to be like. I did know there was a short public trail and a narrow, (likely no shoulder) road in and out of the marina.  I had mapped out some running distances before I left home, but still, wasn't sure what the actual road would be like?  Trafic?  Dogs?  It turned out to be fine.  From the marina through the public trail and to the end of the road was exactly 2 miles, so I just ran multiples of this stretch.  John got to go out on his own for a walk along the public path and down to the buffalo farm that had no buffalo, only cows.  We took our pj-clad girls out on a night walk on a little trail bordering the beach by the marina.  It was perfect for them, it felt like we were in the woods, yet it was short in length.  It also led down to the beach so they got to look for crabs with flashlights. It's fun to watch them explore.
