Day 13: Driving up north
2009.07.12
Our plan to go on ferry ride from Anacortes to watch orcas had to be cancelled due to raining all day long :(. Nevertheless, we still proceeded to drive around Fidalgo Island, one of the 172 San Juan islands.

San Juan islands are part of Washington state while their neighboring islands, the Gulf Islands are part of the Canadian province of British Columbia.

We also went ahead to drive along another island which can be reached by car, Whidbey Island. That's Deception Pass in the background.

Well, if and only if the weather was on our side, we would have enjoyed our ferry ride to another island which we might be able to see orcas.

Hopefully we will be able to go for whale watching somewhere at the Atlantic Ocean, near our future home in NJ.

Hey, welcome to the US of A! Kids felt so lucky that they have been to all those places on the welcome sign - Statue of Liberty, State Capitol, Gateway Arch, Mt Rushmore, Golden Gate Bridge, and... Space Needle!
They are indeed lucky!

Farhan was hugging the giant sequoia tree.
It was indeed an interesting day despite not being able to watch whales.
