Orca's Island

We stuck with a "surf and turf" theme again this year for Spring Break... a couple of days at Mt. Hood to kick things off, then some time near the water to wrap-up the week.

Our water-based activities took place on Orca's Island - part of Washington State's lovely San Juan Islands - where Drew participated in his first big sailing regatta. Here is a photo album from the trip.

In addition to the trip to Orca's, Drew got another very special gift on the occasion of his 14th birthday... a new baby cousin, Abigail Rose! Congratulations to Uncle Jeff, Aunt Jen, Jack and Liam on the addition to their family!

Drew's first regatta went well. He had 5th and 6th place finishes in a couple of races (out of 23 boats); got to practice his capsize-recovery skills once (and managed to stay dry in the process); and generally had a great time.

As for Jake and Emily, they found lots of ways to entertain themselves while Drew raced.
