Since this year was my first Mothers Day, Mark let the family know the three of us would be spending it together.  Since the weather was so nice that I decided going to Anacortes and then from there going to Orcas Island.  However, it’s a long drive, really long drive, and the weather was so nice that we decided to spend all our time in and around Anacortes so we could spend more time in the sun and less time in the truck.  Plus I didn’t love the idea of possible getting sick on the ferry.  I didn’t want to be sick all day on my special day! 

Since it was Sunday a lot of shops were closed, so we breezed through town and then headed into the wilderness.  Thankfully the Visitor Information place was open and we were given a map with some great parks etc to check out.
