Back in October Mr. Monkey and I needed to take care of some family business up in the Seattle area. Along the way we decided to take a few days for some down time. We took the
ferry from Anacortes to Orcas Island and in a few short hours we were living the island life. Way back when, the Bearcat Monkeys (our college new years family) went to Orcas and rented a hosue. We stopped for an evening and visited the grounds of the
Doe Bay Resort. It was beautiful but crowded during the New year holiday so this time we had the idea that we would visit mid-week. That was exactly what we needed. We arrived on a Monday and left on a Wednesday and it was extremely peaceful. Now if you've ever been to an all-inclusive resort in the Carribean you know the luxury that comes with the title "resort". Just so you know, please do not expect that here. Doe Bay is the perfect resort for those of you who want rustic cabins with options to go to a homey cafe with amazing food where you can wear your jeans and fleece. Check it out! Peace and relaxation will be yours. Don't forget your yoga mat and binoculars!

We inherited this sea kayak and took it out
for a look about from the Doe Bay beach. |
