La Conner and Anacortes

Wow!  What a beautiful day.  We traveled north to La Conner today. It's a sweet little artsy town with a wonderful quilt and textile museum.  The museum is in an old mansion, and currently has a delightful Japanese exhibit going on.  The fabrics are beautiful and the detail work is exquisite.

After touring the town and museum, I headed over to Anacortes, and to my surprise, it took my breath away.  There is a city park at the end of town that could be designated a national treasure.  It is right on the water and overlooks the San Juan Islands.  The day was perfect, the water beautiful, and the surrounding mountains made it picture perfect.  Wish I would have had the time to take the ferry to Friday Harbor.
