This last weekend we made our way up I-5 to catch a ferry to take us to Lopez Island, WA. Lopez is where my husband and his family vacationed all through his childhood. While we were dating he would talk about how much they loved it up there and what a magical place it was. Last 4th of July weekend, I got to go with them to experience this magic for myself and it exceeded my expectations. I couldn’t wait to go back!
This year we needed to make it happen so we went with his Sister, her husband and sweet baby Promise, and our friends Brandon and Carla. Seriously, one the best vacations ever. There was an abundance of laughter, flatulence, eating, and sunshine. Just the way every vacation should be.

He will never stop giving me butterflies.
Saturday we took the ferry to Friday Harbor which is on San Juan Island. We ate, we shopped, and enjoyed their farmer’s market. Oh, and of course, we had ice cream. When we got back to Lopez, we drove around exploring the different beaches.
There is a tiny white church on top of hill and its the cutest thing ever.

Do you have a childhood vacation spot?
