San Juan Islands - Day 2

 The nice thing about each couple having at least one kid is that our mornings all started about the same time for everyone. I recall many vacations where I would have an hour or two to kill after Isla woke me up, waiting for the rest of the crew to emerge. But that wasn't the case on this trip--there was company to join me around the coffee pot! :) On morning number one, Graham and I whipped up some Blueberry Dutch Babies and fresh pineapple to go with the coffee. It was the first time attempting this particular pancake recipe but it is by far our new favorite for Dutch Babies.

We didn't have concrete plans for the day but opted to pack up some lunch foods and head into Roche Harbor to see what we could find (pictured above). The town was super cute and would be an awesome, quiet place for a waterfront getaway.
 We set up camp in the shade near the Roche Harbor Resort. Unfortunately the beach area was more like muddy tar than sand and so the kids really couldn't go out there and play. But, a nearby sprinkler entertained the water-seekers. 
 Poor Oliver was outnumbered by girls on this trip. I'm sure someone else will have a boy eventually!
 After our picnic, we headed back to the house for naps for the kids, sunbathing for the women and....hmmmm....I have no idea what the guys were doing!

Graham and I prepared a huge batch of pasta with fresh corn, zucchini, bacon, peas and parmesan for dinner that we ate along with a salad, bread and wine. The from our dinner was top notch as the house had a long, grassy backyard that led right up to the bay. 'Twas the life!
