We went on our annual trip to Sucia Island a couple weekends ago. We got the best spot on the island - Eben calls it "The Honeymoon Suite." It has a gorgeous view of Echo Bay and Mt. Baker.
We spent a warm Friday afternoon playing on the sandy beach at Shallow Bay.
Charlotte and Reed explored the China Caves that have been eroded in the sandstone cliffs.
We walked over to see the sunset and got to see three otters playing (river otters apparently as the sea otters here were hunted to extinction long ago). One of them even caught a fish, dragged him up on a rocky ledge and ate it in front of us. It definitely dispelled the cute and cuddly otter notion. Charlotte and Edison named this one "Biter."
Matt and Lisa joined us the following morning and we took the boat down to Fossil Bay and did a hike out to Ev Henry Point. Here is a cool view of Fossil Bay from the trail with the Whaler in the bay and campsites along the shore.
I love the madronas out here!
We again went to play at Shallow Bay for the afternoon. Lisa brought her paddle board and we all took turns on it. It was a very fun toy to have.
One of the things that made this trip so great is that Reed is now able to entertain himself for periods of time. He really like balancing on the driftwood by the campsite and watching the people come and go from their sailing dinghies.
Another beautiful sunset - this one made the boats in our bay glow bright white as it went down. Ahhhhh - Sucia, we'll be back next summer!
