San Juan Island Weekend Getaway with Kids - Guest Blog

This week we're delighted to share with you a guest blog written by Marcie in Mommyland! who spent a busy and funfilled weekend at The Earthbox Inn & Spa last month.  We hope you enjoy her Friday Harbor / San Juan Island family vacation as much as we did!

One of the perks of living in Seattle is that we have so many gorgeous weekend trip options. As a family with a baby and a preschooler, we love taking small trips around Washington State. We’ve recently visited Semiahmoo Resort & Spa, Suncadia and Seabrook. A few weeks ago, we had the opportunity to head up to Friday Harbor on San Juan Island. Spring has finally arrived in the Pacific Northwest and San Juan Island was simply stunning.

We started our trip by driving up to Anacortes, WA on Friday afternoon. Thank goodness for the carpool lanes because we had a 6pm ferry to catch. The ferry ride was about 75 minutes. We managed to grab one of the last tables on the upper deck. I headed to the cafeteria and got a cup of Ivar’s famous clam chowder and a bag of popcorn. Our 3-year-old ate dinner in the car, so he chomped on the popcorn while I enjoyed the chowder. Then, we still had lots of time to head outside and watch the ferry dock at Lopez Island before continuing on to Friday Harbor on San Juan Island.
