Our last Monday off has officially come and gone and we finally took advantage of it to go on an adventure! After spending most of our Mondays re-couping from the crazy two weeks in between we decided that we were going to go whale watching!! We checked out ferry times, made reservations on a boat and by the time we were finished making plans we had decided to extend our day trip into a little adventure and spend sunday night on the island! In theory our adventure was perfectly planned to go smoothly, in reality we were super lucky everything came together... Overall, we completely enjoyed our escape from work and telephones, it was amazing! Our first itinerary detour was at the ferry. We arrived 15 minutes before it was supposed to leave but, unfortunately because we were taking a vehicle with us, it was full and we had to wait 3 1/2 hours for the next ferry. In the mean time Jason, Dylan (jason's little bro) and I folded down the back seat of the car and played all kinds of card games and watched planet earth. It was so nice to just kick it and have no immediate deadlines or responsibilities. By the time we were finally on the ferry we were super tired, and super hungry by the time we got off! We drove around for a bit using the GPS to locate restaurants, unfortunately everything was dark and closed except for a smoke filled bar and a fancy chinese place. We walked into the chinese place only to find that they were only doing take out and we were the very last order they were willing to place! Lucky us, eh? We ordered our food got back in the car and began looking for our hotel. After driving around a while we finally found it. Jason went in to see if they had any rooms available and they said they were completely booked... but since it was so late and their office hours were over they were super nice and let us have a "no show's" room. Excited that we actually had somewhere to sleep we were super surprised when we opened the door to find the tiniest hotel room I have ever seen! It was incredible!! We laughed about it then had a little picnic on the bed since there was no where else to go or sit in the little room. After finally filling our empty tummies we watched some sweet tv shows on killer ants and great white sharks... overall, it was a fabulous day!!
