Last Sunday we filled our backpacks with swim suits, towels and sunscreen and walked down the hill to the Edmonds – Kingston Ferry for a day of fun on the water. I tried and failed many times to photograph a pod of Orca whales so you will just have to take my word for it that we saw them on our ride to Kingston. It was such a treat to see the whales jumping through the water with Mt. Baker in the background.
Kingston is a cute little town built around the harbor and is full of restaurants and ice cream/coffee shops catering to the ferry travelers. We had a great lunch at the Kingston Ale House before paddling and then cooled down with ice cream on the way back to the Ferry.
If anyone in the Puget Sound area is looking for a great way to spend the afternoon I encourage you to check out Kingston Adventures. They rent Stand Up Paddle Boards (SUP’S) by the hour as well as Kayak and Mountain Bikes plus they have awesome kids camps and guided trail adventures. I have to plan my next trip around one of their sunset paddles!
Our return trip to Edmonds shared the water with two huge cruise ships on their way north to Alaska. Another trip on my “some day” list… All in all a perfect day in the Pacific Northwest.
