If I Had a Million Dollars....


















I would buy a house on Orcas Island.....

It has been almost a month since we took our annual trip to Orcas, but I am finally getting around to posting some pictures of our amazing week at our favorite little place to visit. My dream... is to have a house on Orcas for my family. It is a BIG dream and it is not too realistic I know, but I think we should all have one for our family.

There are so many things to love about Orcas, but my top 5 ...

1. The lifestyle... relaxed, organic, quiet....not too much TV! My family LOVES being there!
2. The deer... Rylie loves to feed the deer... every night we prepare a feast of apples and carrots for these cute little creatures that Ella loves to call for Rylie to feed ... "reindeer... where are you? Oh reindeer, where are you?" Eventually they show and it is so exciting!
3. The Rock beach.... I love the beach, but not a big fan of the sand, but on Orcas our favorite beach is Rocks... perfect... we can spend all day there and not be covered in Sand.
4. The view of all the sea planes landing and taking off and the boats in the marina .... I could sit in the adirondack chair on the hill and watch for them all day.
5. The food .... we love to eat GOOD food in our family and on Orcas we spend the day harvesting our food and then eat an amazing meal for dinner of Crab, Clams, Salmon, Organic produce, all fresh from the Island.... only on Orcas can you drive around the Island and find farm stands that are not staffed...all honor system. If you want to buy fresh, Organic veggies... you just put your money in a tin can and take what you need.... amazing! ... I also Love the Orcas farmers market on Saturdays!
6. I have to mention one more... the ferry boat... the ride is beautiful and the perfect way to start and end the trip!
