San Juan Island {Northern Virginia Child Photographer}

One of the things we did while in Seattle was take the day and travel up to San Juan Island. It was a beautiful day and we had a great time. While on the ferry my husband picked up some of those tourism flyers that tell you what is on the island and where you can spend all your money. I, being the non-spontaneous one of the group, told him that we didn't need them. We had our agenda and we would stick to it. Well, he insisted we keep them and look at them and I am glad he did.

One of the flyers was for a Lavender farm on the island. I knew the the lavender was in bloom at home so I made a phone call to their store and asked if we could visit the farm. Well, not only could we visit the store, we could go to the farm which just happened to be in full bloom AND was having it's annual lavender festival. I was so excited. You see what my husband didn't know is that I had packed a dress for our little girl to wear just in case a great photo-op came up. And this was a GREAT photo-op!!! So our trusty GPS took us to Palindaba Lavender Farm. I could have stayed there all afternoon but the ferry beckoned us back, but not before I took almost a full memory card of pictures.

This little lake was across the road from the Farm. They were having children's sailing lessons while we were there.
