We spent two weeks here...

May 2012

We spent two weeks here, so we got very comfortable with Lummi Island and the Beachhouse.  The weather has been typical late spring--50's and 60's with some sun breaks. We visited family and friends in Bellingham and Anacortes.  We hiked the 3.4 mile ridge hike up to the overlook (the trail-head is just down the street). The view of the San Juans is stunning--worth the 20% grade.  We biked around the 7-mile loop twice--saw bald eagles, seals, many large barges, the small cemetery.  It's pretty easy to get back and forth on the ferry (once we adjusted our thinking), but the cost mounts up.  We spent a day in Vancouver, stopped in Fairhaven, etc.  From the house, we saw a zillion deer, mountain pigeons, etc. (thank goodness for the bird book).  This was a lovely peaceful time.
