16 Hmmm...inspiration!
17 Now we're almost to the second ferry. We're at Deception Pass. Very tricky water for boaters - swirling in the channel far below. Marilou - we're working on SEVERAL three-generation shots throughout these folders. Here's one!

83 We came back to the site to find Sam had decorated himself in charcoal. He'd been rubbing away at a burned out log. We're not sure why. He really loved that "It stained EVERY-THING, Mom!"
