I watch a couple RV youtubers, but you guys have raised the bar . One great video after the other. You are the gold standard of RV videos. Thank you for all your hard work.
Brian and Amanda....for us, this video is a keeper. You passed our house in Anacortes on the road to the ferry terminal. We overlook the San Juan Islands and watch the ferries come and go. My mate of 70 years (we are 90) and I have taken visitors to Friday and Roche Harbors many times in the 25 years we have lived here. Be careful....this place is a magical one to retire in...looks like it's already called you back. Just imagine waking up and deciding to walk to the ferry for lunch in Friday Harbour.....the trip itself through the islands is so worth it. We cant travel anymore (age related) so when the urge strikes...I will watch this video over and over again. Thanks for the gift. *Recliner Babe* and her Handsome Prince.
I know most people know this, but for some of your younger viewers they may not know that William Taft was actually the President at the time and T. Roosevelt was his VP (apologize in advance for feeling a need to say this, but not many people remember William Taft)…anyhooo it was a lovely video and was glad you finally put a hat on 😎🙋♀️😊
Taft was elected president in 1908, the chosen successor of Theodore Roosevelt, but was defeated for reelection in 1912 by Woodrow Wilson after Roosevelt split the Republican vote by running as a third-party candidate. James Schoolcraft Sherman was the 27th vice president of the United States under President William Howard Taft from 1909 until his death in 1912.
Loved this one just like all the others. Still finding each and every one of them such an informational packed video. Love the interaction between the two of you. My husband and I have been married for 54 years and there are days (you know what I mean) 🤣
I'm so glad you were able to see this beautiful area of WA! I won't tell you that you should have gone here or there ;) although I want to! :D Maybe next time you will catch a glimpse of the orcas. Love your channel. My husband and I watch your videos every Saturday morning-thank you for sharing your travels with us.
It was great meeting you both as well! Michelle says sorry that she didn’t get to talk to you guys. Thank you so much for stopping me to say hi. What a pleasure meeting you both! 🧡😊🤓
Believe nothing it was a good supper that looked like a beautiful place and it looked like you guys really enjoyed yourself thank you for the share we enjoyed it! >Merton, Sue, and Sweetpea.
Thank you again for a awesome video. Years pasted I lived in Bremerton WA. I love the ferries all the exciting things to visit . Thanks again Charleston SC
You brought back many great memories. My husband worked at the hospital in Friday Harbor for almost a year. I worked at the hospital in Bremerton. There were many ferry crossings. We also took the ferry to Vancouver Island. We were escorted into Friday Harbor by the whales one day. Good times.
Beautiful place! Looks like a fun visit. Would love to sit on the restaurant patio overlooking the bay (with a glass of 🍷 ). Sounds like a perfect end to a great day. Thank you 😊 for sharing.
I was watching Sunday morning on CBS and thought of Michelle as the topic was pie and baking pie etc. Give it a view if you have some time, I enjoy your videos they are very informative on the journey you two are on. Take care.🙂
Loved today’s vlog. Friday Harbor, and the island in general are great places to visit/stay. Following your example, I might just see if my wife is up to a “walk on” with our ebikes. We tug a Jeep behind our diesel pusher. That would be much more pleasant that sitting in long lines with our car, both coming and going. It would be much less expensive too. Hopefully your next report will feature LaConner. Love that town too. We camped/stayed at the LaConner Marina while we were there.
Thanks for letting us tag along on your journey's ...great commentary and beautiful videos you guys are wonderful.keep them coming! from central Iowa goooo..Hawkeyes!!
I was stationed at NAS Whidbey Island, which is located in Oak Harbor, in the late 70’s to early 80’s. I used to spend many hours in Anacortes and all around Fidalgo Island. I never realized how nice I had it. Hwy’s 2 and 20 are two of the best motorcycle roads in NW Washington. Now, we live in Vancouver WA. Much nicer than Portland, where we both were born and raised. I love Washington and especially Island county, where the base is located. We’ve been back there many times since.
Having worked out of Bellingham, WA for several years , I'd agree that the north/west coast is just spectacular! We will return to that area next spring. God willing.
Wonderful to see my neck of the woods, ....& mountains...I have no complaints, and remind myself that I live in one of the world's most beautiful places...even when it rains.....for months. :)
@@LivinRVision Started watching more of your videos...but had to stop, because it was near dinner time, and I was getting very hungry watching your visits to eateries
It is exciting watching when someone like you visits where we are from! Isn't the Tulalip Casino area amazing!?! Love the Orca fountain. When I did half and full marathons, I did a lot of running in that area. So glad you made it to the SanJuan Islands. The prices sure have gone up. You don't want to know what it would cost to take original Vinny over! Lime Kiln State Park at Friday Harbor is a great spot to see whales off shore. Took my aunt and uncle there years ago. They saw more whales and significantly closer than they did on a whale watching trip they took the day or so before. Ah- Roche Harbor--the area of the rich and famous. :) A lot of people never get to the English and British camps area since it is too far to walk to from the ferry. Glad you explored the entire island. I used to go Orcas Island every spring for a week with our 6th graders. Such an incredible experience with students in that environment! FYI-- next time visit Deception Pass via Highway 20 (left at the traffic circle instead of straight to Anacortes (head to Whidbey Island). It is so beautiful, and FREE (no ferry needed). Thank you for such a nice visit back to San Juan Island. As always--safe travels. See you somewhere along the road.
Thanks for sharing Nancy! We were a bit disappointed that the whales were not there the day we went, but hopefully next time. We did go to Deception Pass and we have a very short blip of it in next weeks video.
If you come to San Juan (town of Friday Harbor), be sure hike up to the top of Mt. Young (from English Camp) to catch the sunset. Other than the top of Mt. Constitution on Orcas, best view in all the islands.
So nice to see you enjoying my home state and doing such a beautiful job showing it off to others! The heat wave you experienced is unusual; it’s not usually that hot for that long. So glad you guys missed the terrible forest fire that’s happening now near Skykomish that has shut the highway down and caused evacuations.
Great video. Many years ago I sailed in those waters and we docked at a much smaller size Friday Harbor. Also, my father in law was from there. You did a great job showing the place on foot. Miss the area all the time.
Great video! Once up a time when I was in the Navy, on a visit to the area I had to travel to Victoria, Canada to visit their Navy for some planning. My colleague and I took the ferry from Anacortes through the San Juan Islands to Victoria and it was one of the most beautiful excursions - still ranks as one of my top ten. I'd love to go back up that way and spend more time there.
We're so glad you enjoyed our area! We live on the same exit as the Tulalip casino. We're hitting the road full time once our seven year old finishes this school year. Thank you for your inspiration. We look forward to your videos every week.
First time watching one of your videos. I have lived in Washington all my life . I have to say this is one of the most beautiful scenery wise places to live! The San Juan’s is one of my all time favorite places to visit and recommend to people visiting our state! You did an amazing job capturing it and all its beauty!
Another one to add to my list. Don't you hate it when you think you've got everything you need only to find fully charged batteries aren't one of them? Loving your voiceovers Michelle. Keep 'em comin'. Brian
I’m happy you guys are having a nice time I lived in Seattle for a little over a year that was enough so when I get my RV I’m not headed to the left coast. Careful when Boondocking pay attention to your surroundings.
Drove from Leavenworth to LaConner today. We had to take the scenic route due to a wildfire shutting down the 2. Looking forward to exploring the area. Can your videos hurry up and come out. I love all your tips! 🤣
You were in our stomping ground of 27 years!! We lived in Mount Vernon and our last 3 years living there we lived between LaConner Thousand Trail and Bow. Lance worked at Boeing in Everett. It is beautiful there in the summer and early fall. Glad y'all enjoyed your time.
The San Juans are one of our favorite places! Our Daughter worked at the Friday Harbor Labs between graduating college and starting grad school. Lime Kiln lighthouse photos are some of my favorites! I have a friend who's on the waiting list for a spot in the Marina in Roche Harbor....currently he is estimating 7 years before he gets to the top of the list...and he's been ON the list for more years than that!! It's gorgeous in the summer but always crowded. Try and visit during the winter months it's a LOT more quiet and some of the bigger restaurants close up for the season but the ones that remain are GREAT!! And get a hat from the Alpaca farm...they last forever!
@@LivinRVision Washington is full of fun beautiful places!! La Conner in spring is full of tulips and daffodils, in winter the area is home to migrated snow geese and bald eagles! Right now it's State Fair time in Puyallup! Looking forward to your next vid! IF I knew where you were locally I'd buy you a cup of coffee and pie!
Nice tour. We were on the Island a bit ago for the 1st time to attend the wedding reception of my niece. Cool place. She owns the Salty Fox coffee shop at the head of the ferry terminal. The name comes from the fact there's a lot of fox on the Island and being surrounded by salt water. Different lifestyle being tied to the ferries but it suits her.
The island looks amazing, and so do you both. Great to follow you via videos. I'm doing great, my boy is almost 16 and I have an amazing girlfriend. Life is wonderful for us all. Miss you and Michelle.
Hey Shawn!! We were JUST talking about you and your son and wondering how you’re doing and where you’re at now. Wow, 16?! Time flies! Get in touch with us and let’s catch up! 🧡
We are in La Conner right now as well. Be advised the park's dump station is "Out of service" the closest station in in Anacortes or a 1/2 hour away at a Shell station... Great show folks...🤣❤ OLT
I was camping in Osoyoos, BC and went to Seattle for a few days. Washington is full of so much beauty! ⛰ The city also has a ton of character you don’t really see in many Canadian cities anymore. I loved it! Oh, and the North Cascades! Stunning. 😍 It’s fun following you guys on your trip. 🚐
We toured some of the Very Western part of WA 3 years ago and loved it and may go back next summer. But man your travels have inspired us to keep moving, thank you. We were so stuck in our own fear of fuel prices. We stayed put for 11 mo. bc of it. Dumb, I know. But all things are possible and we are back on the road. We have been traveling again, this time we left just 2.5 weeks ago from the Coast of TX. We have made our way to Shiloh Battlefield and the Natchez Trace so far. East Coast bound and spending a cold winter in SC to explore even more. 44 ft MH and a truck. Thank you.
This was a great video, thank you! You gave me some great ideas for exploring my home state, we’re about an hour North, in the beautiful Lynden WA. Wonder if we can bring our e-bikes on the ferry ⛴️…we enjoy camping down there…would be fun to explore the island with our bikes
The Pacific Northwest is certainly beautiful! We enjoy a nice glass of cold cider too. I wonder if the old cover wagons or stagecoaches had a potty bucket in the back? My guess is they due a hole along the trail. Bet they didn’t have TP either 🤔. We have it potty good in this generation. There are so many places to see along the trail to adventure you just gotta save some of them for the next visit. You did a pret’ good job with you phone videos.
Hey guys, we did the Friday Harbour trip. Stated on island and dud orca kayaking, a bucket list thing of ours. Didn't see one whale, but trip was still awesome. Check out the lavender fields and goto orcas island...
Sounds fun! Did you catch the end of our video where when we approached the lavender fields? There were no whales to be seen the day we were there either. Guess we’ll have to go back. 👍🏻😊🤓
Theres a wildfire near Skykomish today. We stayed at La Conner and loved it there. Could have been around the same time. Did the same ferry trip as you guys and ate at the brewery too! Too bad we didn’t see you again….we ran into yall at Hershey RV show last year. Washington has been our favorite so far.
We live on Lopez Island and recently picked up our 2022 Grech Terreno-Ion in August, partly due to discovering your Channel seeing your Strada. We also have an Airstream, but unlike you we are keeping it. We love the Islands, our Airstream and now our Grech,…, the ferries? Not so much
You can if you want to. We chose not to, just so that we would not have to worry about where to put them, taking them down and putting them away. There was not a lot of place to park them from what we could see either. It was just easier for us then the hassle. Just like when we went to Mackinac Island, we chose to rent bikes over there instead of the hassle with ours, plus you had to remove the battery on ebikes in Mackinac and those ebikes we had then didn’t pedal the greatest like a normal bike does, especially with all the hills.
@@LivinRVision Hi thanks for the reply I never thought about islands not allowing E bikes I guess some of them dont ? I’ll make sure to check that out first .thanks
Some do and some require the batteries to be removed and usually the ferries charge a higher rate if you bring a bike on. Yes, either way just need to research ahead of time.
I watch a couple RV youtubers, but you guys have raised the bar . One great video after the other. You are the gold standard of RV videos. Thank you for all your hard work.
Thank you! 🧡😊🤓
Excited to watch this video today. Currently in Leavenworth. Headed west in Washington for a couple of weeks!
Friday Harbor really is a "Hidden Gem" in Washington...I like it enough to call it "home". I love it here.
A beautiful place to call home. 🧡

Good to see Friday Harbor again. Coming from SW Ohio, we ferried our Class C Winnebago to the island to visit friends. Saw Orcas.
Love the way you freeze frame the road signs.

You’re very welcome. You can take bikes or e-bikes on the island. They rent them on the island also.
The Pacific Northwest is certainly beautiful! We enjoy a nice glass of cold cider too. I wonder if the old cover wagons or stagecoaches had a potty bucket in the back? My guess is they due a hole along the trail. Bet they didn’t have TP either 🤔. We have it potty good in this generation. There are so many places to see along the trail to adventure you just gotta save some of them for the next visit. You did a pret’ good job with you phone videos.
Not sure about the old covered wagons/stagecoaches. Hmm 🤔
Hey guys, we did the Friday Harbour trip. Stated on island and dud orca kayaking, a bucket list thing of ours. Didn't see one whale, but trip was still awesome. Check out the lavender fields and goto orcas island...
Sounds fun! Did you catch the end of our video where when we approached the lavender fields? There were no whales to be seen the day we were there either. Guess we’ll have to go back. 👍🏻😊🤓
Love the PNW, especially in the summer.
Theres a wildfire near Skykomish today.
We stayed at La Conner and loved it there. Could have been around the same time. Did the same ferry trip as you guys and ate at the brewery too! Too bad we didn’t see you again….we ran into yall at Hershey RV show last year.
Washington has been our favorite so far.
Ah darn too bad we didn’t see you on the island! Hopefully we meet up again sometime soon. Yes, the PNW is so beautiful!!
We live on Lopez Island and recently picked up our 2022 Grech Terreno-Ion in August, partly due to discovering your Channel seeing your Strada. We also have an Airstream, but unlike you we are keeping it. We love the Islands, our Airstream and now our Grech,…, the ferries? Not so much
We were at LaConner TT The week after y'all. 😉😍🙂
Ha dang wish we could have met up.
Great video as usual. Looks like a lot of walking .why not take bikes with you
You can if you want to. We chose not to, just so that we would not have to worry about where to put them, taking them down and putting them away. There was not a lot of place to park them from what we could see either. It was just easier for us then the hassle. Just like when we went to Mackinac Island, we chose to rent bikes over there instead of the hassle with ours, plus you had to remove the battery on ebikes in Mackinac and those ebikes we had then didn’t pedal the greatest like a normal bike does, especially with all the hills.
@@LivinRVision Hi thanks for the reply I never thought about islands not allowing E bikes I guess some of them dont ? I’ll make sure to check that out first .thanks
Some do and some require the batteries to be removed and usually the ferries charge a higher rate if you bring a bike on. Yes, either way just need to research ahead of time.
