Day 4
Up bright and early. Well, early anyway. Note the gray world and drizzling rain.
Pack the truck with camping gear. Gulp. Leave the trailer behind at Deception Pass. Sigh.
Switch bike rack to truck. Get in line for the ferry ride to Lopez Island.
The ferry ride entertains children and parents alike in spite of the weather.First time on a big boat for the boys.
A deer on the side of the road greets us as we get off the ferry.Snag one of the last camping spots on the island (at Spencer’s Spit) and breathe a sigh of relief.Set up tent in the rain. Drive off to explore the island.Buy lunch at the market, eat at a picnic table outside during a break in the weather,
and browse the local historical museum.
Head back to camp.Ride bikes down to Spencer’s Spit and play on beach. Gather rocks and shells.Make our way back to our tent to turn in early.
Eat Fruit Loops while watching a movie on Russ’s laptop until the battery runs dead…
