A Picture's Worth a Thousand Words

After having our flight cancelled and re-booked to the following morning at the last second...

After being stuck in traffic (Seattle traffic nonetheless) for almost three hours...

After just missing the ferry and having to wait another two hours for the next one...

After getting onto the island just in time for one of our regular places that we normally frequent when we visit to tell us that they're closed...

This makes the entire frustration of sixteen hours of travel by plane, ferry and automobile so much more worth it:


A trip to the winery for a congratulatory bottle of wine and two glasses: $30

Ferry ride to the San Juan Islands: $65

Round trip flight from Chicago to Seattle: $400

A marriage proposal overlooking the Pacific Ocean at sunset: PRICELESS

She said yes!
