on way home

Before even moving to Washington, someone texted me, "hey I'm on a RIF trip and guess what, there is a Padilla Bay in Washington and it's beautiful," with a picture attached. I have driven past it many times but only on this Orcas trip, well on the way home, did I travel to the Estuary Research Center. Unfortunately it was closed, so I'll have to make a return trip since the sign says "exhibits" and "aquarium"!

Bye bye San Juans, we're on the ferry!
