Hellooooo,
I recently found these pictures that I took this last summer, but forgot to post about.
I had this particular day marked on my calendar for a while, because I am determined! Jetty Island hosts a "Float Find" day. They hide glass sea floats in the sand, under drift wood, and in tall beach grass for you to find. And it's finders-keepers! We went last year, but didn't find any. I didn't know to make reservations for the ferry so we arrived pretty late into the hunt.
But this year, I made reservations way in advance. After the craziness of the Seafloat Scramble in Langley last January (you can read about that here ), I was determined to try again this year to see if we could find one.
We scoured the beach.
In our best Nick Cage voices, we'd yell out, "I think I found something" (Thank you, National Treasure.) but...
sea floats we did not find. Instead we found the bluest of blue summer skies,
a cute octopus kite
Interesting patterns
and time...
well spent with family.
As we were waiting in a very long line for the ferry to leave the island, an announcement was made that the ferry boat had gotten tangled up in fishing line which completely left the prop inoperable.
Being a super crowded day on the island (because of the float find) they called out the local police department to shuttle everyone by groups of 10's over to the other side.
We don't see police boats too often!
This was a fun day because it was a Saturday, which meant Eric was along on this adventure.
Whenever Eric is along - coffee is a given!
We hit this fairly new coffee shop. I had been there several times before, and it's my favorite!
I ordered a drink called "The Bee's Knees".
It has lavender syrup, honey, and lemon peel with iced espresso. It's seriously...THE BEE'S KNEES!
This place has the best coffee vibe... a comfy place to come, have an exceptional cup of joe, hang with friends or study.
I love the lights!
To Hannah's sheer delight, they had a piano out front for anyone to play.
But I am learning to take the attitude of "I'll take what I can get". Sarah and Matt had to work that day, but Caleb was up from Portland. 😊
We'll try again next year, we'll see who can come along, and maybe we'll even find a float.

I loved this post, Carol! It was definitely one of my favorites! :)
