Reflecting on What Happened in June - Part 2

Mom, my sister Betty and niece Lindy were here about 10 days. We met them in Seattle and Betty and Lindy stayed aboard Kasekuchen and mom stayed at Kim’s house in Tacoma. We did touristy stuff around Puget Sound and then took Betty & Lindy on our return trip to Friday Harbor. We had a fabulous trip through the sound and stopped for a night in LaConnor, Washington, a picturesque small town that is famous for its Tulip Festival. in March. We went this year with Bonnie & John Jaquet (Seattle natives who we met in 1974 in Vail). Betty, Lindy and I went window shopping but didn’t have time to spend much money.

We all flew back to Seattle from Friday Harbor on a float plane that we picked up about 100 feet from our boat on our dock. These float planes and ferries are the most convenient forms of transportation from the islands. They are a very fast way to Seattle-three hours by ferry or ½ hour by plane.
