We took a long weekend in advance of Independence Day to
head out for our first San Juans camping trip of the season and a stay at our
new favorite campsite on Jones Island. We were happily surprised that our
southside spot on the point was available and we quickly set up shop. As we
hiked around the island we found someone had built a swing with driftwood and
rope from the beach. From this spot, we can’t see the full sunset, but we do get
nice color in the evenings.
Saturday was breezy and we didn’t leave the island. We
passed the time by playing bocce and hanging out on the beach in the northern
cove, which was protected from the wind. Reed impressed us by being able to
effectively paddle the kayak around the cove all by himself! Charlotte spent
much of the time reading which warmed my heart.
Back at the campsite Charlotte
and Reed built a driftwood structure which involved a lot of dragging logs
around and teamwork. Edison’s 9
th birthday was on Sunday and he
choose to go to Roche Harbor to look at all the boats for our activity of the
day. Plus we got to have big ice cream cones, too! We left on Monday morning
and headed to Bellingham for Floyd and Edison’s birthday party.
