getting away: doe bay resort, orcas island

A few weeks ago, Miles and I took a wonderful little weekend trip with our friends William and Brittany to Orcas Island in the San Juans. We went to Doe Bay Fest last summer and had the most amazing time (see some really great photos from the festival here!), we had to make the journey to Doe Bay Resort to purchase tickets for this year's festival. It was a bit strange being at Doe Bay without mass amounts of music lovers and festival goers, but refreshing at the same time. We lucked out with beautiful weather Friday afternoon and got to the resort in time to catch a ridiculously gorgeous sunset. We had rainy weather for the rest of our trip but made the best of it with delicious meals at Doe Bay Cafe, yoga classes, reading and plenty of time in the resort's hot tubs! This was only my second time visiting Orcas Island, and I hope to make it to the rest of the San Juan Islands sometime very soon. It really is magical out there, the scenery is like something out of a storybook.
Here are a few photos from the ferry ride over and our time at the resort. Enjoy! -whit
