If it didn't cost an arm and a leg to get over (seriously, $21 for us to drive over on the tiny ferry...sheesh!) I would spend most sunny afternoons over there. Fortunately, Jake's grandparents own a home right on the beach, and a few times each summer, Jake's dad pulls out the boat and ferry's us across to the magical land. Yesterday, we went out to celebrate grandma and grandpa's 60th wedding anniversary! It as Calvin's first boat trip and first time on the island, and he really enjoyed it...I think he thinks it's as magical as I do :) It was such a fabulous summer day!
Glad you love Lummi. But really, it feels like more than just a few minutes from town when you live there and are trying to get to an appointment and there's a long line, at least two ferry loads, or when you've had a long day and just want to get home. I think I love Lummi more now that we moved to the mainland. I can enjoy it from a tourist's perspective.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree, Karen. I just told Jake yesterday that if it wasn't a ferry ride to get there, I would want to live there. But that keeps it more of "destination" and much more special when we actually make it out there :) I can't imagine having young kids and having to trek all the way in to town for appointments and grocery shopping!
