Our time in Seattle has been a blur. Conferences will do that to you. I think Fiona had a pretty good time. If nothing else, she got a lot of fresh air on nearly daily walks to the Olympic Sculpture Park and Pike Place Market. In the last few days, she even got in a few boat trips. First, a quick ferry ride out and back to Bainbridge Island with great views of the Seattle skyline. Then today, a longer ferry ride from Anacortes to the San Juan Islands and then a whaling excursion around the islands.
The San Juan Islands and the trip out there were beautiful. It really is a magical area of the country. Timing was not on our side today though. Fiona fell asleep not too long before we needed to wake her for the whaling tour. Plus, we had to put her in a gigantic life-jacket that she hated. Since we were in the cabin, I tore it off at one point just so I could hold her close to me and calm her. Once the life-jacket was off, she was pretty happy but tired to the bone. I don't even know how she stayed awake. No whales were spotted but boating around the islands is gorgeous and we got to see a sea lion, seals, eagles, and porpoises. Fiona slept like a log on the ferry ride back, and is sleeping soundly now, likely to be awakened by me in order to get her to the airport and our flight home.
