Anacortes, kayaking : 31 Aug '08. After my climbing plan for the Labor Day weekend fell through unexpectedly, I made a quickly planned getaway with Bingram and Veronica to Anacortes, WA. We went on a guided kayaking tour around Burrows Island, which is just to the west of Fidalgo Island (on which Anacortes sits). We enjoyed nice weather, picturesque marina & water views, some old town charm, calm water, and good food.

Lopez Island bike tour : 18 Aug '07. Went on a bike tour of Lopez Island with one of the Meetup groups. Beforehand, I knew only a couple of the people. This was a good way to make more friends. Lopez is supposed to be the flattest of the San Juan Islands, with only "gently rolling hills", but there was quite a bit of pedaling to do, and the less prepared found it too much for one day. (We did about 25 miles roundtrip.) It was a cloudy day, which helped with the biking and saved us from getting sunburnt, but it wasn't great for pictures. The experience was all worthwhile, though.
