San Juan Island National Historic Park

It isn't a vacation for Brian and me if it doesn't involve a National Park.  I take my National Parks very seriously, (stop laughing),and right now the count is at 51.  Fortunately for us, the San Juan Islands, (a brand new designated National Monument), are just a quick hop, skip, and a jump from Whidbey.  Really they are about an hour drive and an hour ferry ride, but - close enough.  You might think that with San Juan Island being so small and so close to Canada, it wouldn't be worth the trip.  Well, you are wrong.  I loved it so much I even became a Junior Ranger,  (No, I am not kidding, I have the badge to prove it.)  For me, this is exciting stuff!  (No, really.  I'm serious).  And of course, it is beautiful.  Hello.  It's Washington.
