A TOP TEN NATIVE TREE FOR ATTRACTING HUMMINGBIRDS, RIGHT HERE ON MAIN STREET AT THE SARGENT HOUSE MUSEUM

The snowy white blossoms of one of North America’s most beautiful native trees, the Catalpa, is in full bloom at the Sargent House Museum. Beautiful for its orchid-like flowers, dangling bean pods, and ginormous heart-shaped leaves, hummingbirds also love to drink nectar from the blossoms

“In Search of Orcas” Day #1

We woke up at 3:00 a.m. yesterday morning to begin Thatcher’s birthday trip by catching a 6:00 am flight on Alaska Air. With a 6 hour flight to Seattle, a pit stop at the car rental company (where they upgraded us to a sweet Jeep at no cost for the birthday boy), a ferry ride from Mukilteo to Whidbey Island, and then a BEAUTIFUL ride up the length of the island…with some stops at Deception Pass, the Cap Sante Marina, and the seaport town of Anacortes…. our vacation has already been amazing.  I surprised Thatch with a trip to the San Juan Islands north of Seattle as a birthday gift back in May….for lots of different reasons (which you can read about here if you’re so inclined).  We’ve been eagerly anticipating yesterday ever since!  

I am aware that there is a chance that we could actually NOT encounter orcas this week despite looking long and hard for a vacation spot with best likelihood…and while I’ll secretly be devastated….Thatch has already made it all ok by saying, “this vacation has already been so special.” I’ve already seen a side of him that I don’t always get to see at home as we race from rink to rink, lament about homework and laundry, and deal with the day to day blur of activities.  The two of us need this time together.  

So, while the motivation for booking this special trip was to see orca whales, I’m positive there will be many other gifts along the way.

As I type this he’s looking out our balcony to the islands in the distance with binoculars trying to find whales. Tomorrow (or “today” ….as you’re reading it) we’re off for four days in Friday Harbor….where the real games begin.  Fingers crossed.
