Friday Harbor Continued.......

Here is M, Adrian, and my Dad watching the first of two ferries coming in while we waited for dinner.  We ate at an organic vegetarian Mediterranean restaurant  that the woman at the tourist center recommended.  It was awesome!  Great food!
After dinner we took a short drive and came across a beach and watched the lovely sunset.
Before the Civil War the British and Americans had camps on separate ends of San Juan Island.  The first one we visited was the American Camp on the southern end of San Juan.  One person in-particular that served here was George Pickett who came here after building Fort Bellingham.  George Pickett was later made infamous for his ill fated charge on the Union camp during the battle of Gettysburg.
Adrian ran ahead to the map and was pointing out all the things that were on it.  At the trail head M grabbed a walking tour guide and had a blast waling through where the American encampment was at one point.
Here Adrian was leading my Mom back up the trail.  It was quite cute.
