We made it our home on Orcas Island about two hours ago. Spent an hour making beds, bringing in luggage, and reading to the kids. The next hour was spent napping, for I, at least, was feeling incredibly tired. We woke to find unexpected neighbors across the street: three deer, grazing in among the dandilions near a patch of woods.
We’re enjoying a snack of gelato before taking a short walk down to see the beach. We can see the water from our back deck. It’s wonderful.
By the way, I found our location on Google Maps but it unfortunately falls within a low-resolution area of the maps. If you’re still curious, you can see it here. Oh, and pictures to follow later this evening.
