 Shay was quite the shutterbug this month.  We couldn't pass up sharing this perfect Camilia that she captured in full bloom from one of the Inn's gardens.  Please share your San Juan Island photos with us.

Greetings!

Greetings from Friday Harbor!  There is something for everyone this summer on San Juan Island whether your interest is history, wildlife or athletic events.   
 
Plans are underway this summer for a number of once in a lifetime historical celebrations.  The Town of Friday Harbor Centennial will culminate with a Lummi Nation Celebration over the 4th of July.  This three day celebration will begin with the arrival of canoes followed by a salmon bake, gifting ceremony, music, poetry and dance. 
 
The sesquicentennial (150th) celebration of the Pig War crisis at American Camp and British Camp - the Island's two National Park sites will include living historical reenactments, special lectures and nature walks every Saturday throughout the summer.
 
The wildlife operators are open for the season.  The Orcas have been spotted quite a bit this month.  The stellar sea lions are still here and the eagles and marine birds are plentiful. 
 
For those looking for a more active vacation - the San Juan Island Celebrity Golf Classic is the first weekend in June along with the San Juan Island Marathon.  What a beautiful place to qualify for the Boston Marathon or Olympic trials!
 
Looking forward to meeting you and hosting you here no matter what your holiday has in store. 
 
With warm regards,

Anna Maria and Dave

Mooney Fly-in to FHR

Friday Harbor San Juan Island Washington

The Harrison House and Tucker House Suites will host pilots from the western United States for the 1st annual Friday Harbor Airport (FHR) Vintage Mooney fly-in this August 21 - 23rd.  The airport's transient parking will be packed with 30 to 40 low-wing general aviation aircraft.  Barbecues, whale watching and evening dinners are planned. 
 
The San Juan Islands are spectacular from the air.  We encourage guests to fly to the Islands either on a wheel or float plane.  We offer a 5% discount on your Kenmore Airlines plane ticket.  Call for details.  There are few places in the lower 48 where you can take a sea plane to your vacation destination.  As they say getting here is half the fun!
Our Two Newest Additions

Friday Harbor Bed & Breakfast, San Juan Island Wasington

No Shay is not our new addition!  (You met Shay in our winter newsletter kissing Mona the camel.)  Anyway, this is our Kamado.  It is a Japanese Clay Oven.  We use it to smoke meats, poultry and fish for catering at the Inns and for special dishes at Coho.  Currently Coho is featuring a smoked duck breast cooked in this oven.  The dish is served with a pomegranate rhubarb coulis, corn yoghurt cake and toasted pistachios.  The Kamado weighs in at 750 pounds and is 63 inches high and 32 inches wide.  As you can see it is not only a beautiful piece of lawn art but functional as well.  We shared Dave's recipe for Smoked Baby Back Ribs with Homemade Barbecue Sauce as our recipe for the month - perfect for the upcoming grilling season.  He cooked up a batch last night and boy they were yummy!

In this picture, Shay is standing next to our second new addition - a 20 quart Hobart mixer.  We must admit, it is not as beautiful as the Kamado, but just as functional.  Shay is holding the flat beater from our 6 quart Kitchen Aid next to the flat beater from 'Big Bertha', we named the new mixer.  We can mix up a batch of cookies times 10 or 4 batches of bagels in a jiffy.  The cookie fairy is officially in heaven!
