I am currently still in Seattle, having returned from my trip to Orcas Island (an island off the coast of Washington) for my cousin Laurence's wedding. It was a beautiful setting and a great ceremony:

But I must admit that from New York it was quite an experience to get there; a five hour plane trip followed by a two hour drive through Seattle traffic to Anacortez to take an hour and half ferry to drive 45 minutes to Doe Bay Resort, where we were staying and where the wedding was held. Adventures are always interesting, however. Especially those that you would have never thought to take on your own. Thankfully, my four year old was quite well behaved throughout the process, which always makes any long trip better.
