First Ferry Boat Ride

Ed took the week off of work so we decided to go do something as a family.  We live in an area where, because of islands and peninsulas, there are lots of ferry boats.  We drove down to Edmonds today to do a walk-on ferry boat ride.  It was Samantha's first! 

When we arrived, we had barely missed one sailing so we purchased tickets for the next sailing and wandered around Edmonds on foot for a while.  The weather wasn't the best, but we were bundled up and thought to bring umbrellas.  We ended up stopping for lunch and window shopping a bit.  Then we raced back to the ferry docks just in time to catch our scheduled ferry.

Not actually the boat we were on, just passing on the water...

Samantha was so excited to go on a boat ride.  She wanted to go out on the decks and look at the birds and other boats on the water, then go back inside and sit on every bench and look out the windows.  It was pretty cute. 


The sun peeked out for just a bit on Samantha's first ferry boat ride!
 
Loving the big winds out on the water!


Getting in to Kingston
We didn't walk around on the other side, just waited in the terminal so we could re-board. 
 Anyway, she had a blast on the way back to Edmonds too!

Afterwards, she totally crashed!  As boring as it may sound, it was a fun day!!

The look of a successful outing!  :)
