This
is your chance travel by boat on Puget Sound through the Straits of Juan
de Fuca, see the islands and the glorious Olympic Mountains, whales if
we are lucky, get a guided historical tour of Victoria and spend two
hours in their famous Butchart Gardens all in one day. Not to be missed!
The Victoria Clipper Departs Pier 69 on the Seattle Waterfront at 8:30am
(check in 7:30) returning around 8pm. It costs $158/per person;

website for details.
See the jewel of the Northwest. It is a truly awesome
sight to see our grand dame of a mountain. We’ll hire a bus or minivan
and transport you into the park where you can either sip wine and have a
picnic at the lodge, take a leisurely stroll or be a gun ho vigorous
hiker. Either way, you must
not miss this alpine experience. 
This
4 hour adventure starts from Pier 55 at 4:30 pm from the Seattle waterfront for a
magical crossing over Puget Sound to Blake Island. There we will have a
traditional Salmon bake, watch native dancers and have time to explore
the island. Everyone we know raves about the trip. We ourselves have yet
to do it. So this is a great excuse! We’ve reserved 30 spaces at
a rate of $65 for adults. For more information, call Peter
Robinson at 206 676-3145 to book
