Girl's camping trip to the San Juan Islands

I headed up to the San Juan Islands on Friday for a girl's camping weekend - there was tons of sun and water and laughing. It was awesome. : )

Ferry ride from Anacortes to Orcas Island

Arriving at our camp spot - a hike in spot at Doe Bay resort.

Tents set up at sunset

Without planning to, almost every single one of us (there were 7 women all together) brought homemade salsa, so we had a salsa taste off.

We spent a lot of time hanging out on this point by our campspot - talking, eating, drinking wine, watching stars. We stayed up very late the first night and saw at least 10 shooting stars. It was so so so peaceful and beautiful.

We rented kayaks and paddled around the island - we saw salmon spawning and jumping up a stream, and an otter and eagles.

We then went to the highest point on the island and had a picnic. This is a view of Mt. Baker across Puget Sound.

The whole group.
 It was the first weekend away from their babies for three of the women (there was a lotta pumping going on!). It was so great to have a few solid days together outside in gorgeous weather, even if almost half the group was pretty antsy to get back to babies by the end of the weekend. :)
