Here's a pic of the Trumpeter Inn that we stayed at. |
To celebrate, we decided to take a ferry over to Friday Harbor and stay at the Trumpeter Inn Bed & Breakfast. We were generously given a night's stay at the B&B from our friends Kevin, Tyson, and Dave for a wedding present last year. We figured what better time to use this great gift than to celebrate our 1-Year Anniversary!
So after church we headed up to Anacortes and hopped on the ferry to Friday Harbor. Kyle and I, being the nerds that we are- played cribbage the entire ferry ride while Kyle snuck a peak at any map of the islands he could get his hands on. :)
Did we mention yet that the weather was PERFECT? A beautiful sunny weekend- we couldn't have asked for better weather.
We got to the B&B, dropped our stuff off in the room and proceded to explore the grounds and relax for a bit on the amazing hammock. We need to get one of those asap. :) It was a great, relaxing beginning to our trip.

Then we got out our 1-year old wedding cake and brought it out to our private balcony to share. We sampled a little of the cake and have to say that it was a fun tradition-- but that the cake loses a little something after a year we think... ;)
The next day we woke up to a delicious breakfast of fruit, eggs, and breakfast potatoes made by our B&B host and we met and chatted with some of the other guests. Kyle made a new best friend, like usual. ;) Just kidding, but we did meet a nice couple with similar interests and had a nice conversation over breakfast. After breakfast we checked out and explored the island, driving around and stopping off at various beaches and lighthouses along the way. We had a great time looking out at the water, skipping rocks, and enjoying the sunshine! Then we headed back into town for some yummy chowder and salad and shopped around a bit before hopping back on the ferry to head home.
All in all, what a wonderful way to end our first year of marriage/ start our second year! Looking forward to many more adventures to come in year two!
