We left Portland on Saturday morning and drove about four hours north to Anacortes to catch the Ferry to Friday Harbor . We sailed into Friday Harbor in the late afternoon and checked into our hotel, where inside we were greeted with a bottle of champagne and assorted cheese and crackers.
For most of the evening, we enjoyed the view of our hotel room and a bottle of champagne. For dinner, we ventured out of our room and walked into town and found a cute bar called Blue Water Bar and Grill where Brad had amazing ribs and I had some yummy clam chowder!
Saturday morning, we enjoyed breakfast in bed that arrived (Thank you Nick and Alicia). After breakfast, we drove to the north part of the Island to a town called Roche Harbor . This was the cutest little town, very quaint and romantic. We walked around the docks, fantasizing what it would be like to own a multimillion dollar yacht, let alone a little sail boat. We were amazed at some of these boats, and where they were from! After our walk through the docks, we went for our spa appointment and enjoyed a nice and relaxing massage. After that we drove to the other side of the island to do a little bit more sight seeing. We saw a huge buck, alpaca, sheep, cows, and even a camel. Yes, a camel!
That night, we had a special dinner right on the water at a restaurant called The Place. The meal was delicious, which was followed by us going back to the hotel and cutting into our first year anniversary cake,
which was designed very similar to our actual wedding cake, so that was fun! We had a lot of time to reflect on our wedding and it seems like we spent most of the weekend saying things like “This time last year, we were…” Followed by “I can’t believe it’s been a year already”.
Monday we were sad to leave as we had such a great time. Friday Harbor was such a charming, picturesque, little harbor town. We had just arrived when the off-season started, so things were pretty quiet around there, which was fun because it felt like we had the town to ourselves. But everyone was so friendly and accommodating. Plus the weather was amazing our entire stay.
We had a wonderful time experiencing something new together and it was the most special way to celebrate one year of marriage!!
