Title: A weekend vacation in the San Juan Islands
Post by: grandpawrichard on October 03, 2011, 11:14:17 PM: My wife and I finally listened to my Uncle and his offering of the use of his cabin on Lopez Island over the weekend. :) He has been after me for the last 20 years to go out and stay in his cabin but we never wanted to impose on his gracious offer. Well, he finally out talked me and he got his wish. ;) :)

We had an awesome weekend seeing the sights on Lopez Island and a short visit to Friday Harbor on San Juan Island. Mainly we just stayed on Lopez. My poor camera got a really good work out. :) I took over 425 photos, so I'll be doing editing for quite some time to come! ;) :)

Here are a few of the photos I have edited so far:

Uncle Cliff's Cabin on Saturday night right at dark:
