We woke up to sunny skies again this morning. After packing up, we drove to the
Whale Museum in Friday Harbor. For $6 for adults ($3 for kids), we visited the exhibits
on the second floor. There are bones, displays explaining the physical characteristics
of whales and their habitats. There was also an exhibit where you can listen to the
sounds of whales. There are several video screens displaying various videos on whales.
After exploring the exhibits and watching some of the videos, we drove off toward
Rochdale Harbor.
Before getting to the harbor, we stopped at an oyster farm and picked up some oysters and
clams. Then
we continued on to Rochdale Harbor.

Rochdale Harbor is a small community with condominiums and a few restaurants and shops near the
dock. We picked up some sandwiches and brought them over to a playground next to the swimming
pool, near the shore.

After lunch, we drove literally across the road to the Westgate Sculpture Park. There are
dozens of human-scale sculptures here. If you enter, a $5 donation per adult is requested.
It's a nice pleasant walk through grassy fields, with sculptures along the way. There's a
pond in the center with some additional sculptures. After enjoying the artwork, we drove
back to Friday Harbor. There, we got in line for the ferry back to Anacortes. There's
no fee required, as the price is built-in to the ferry ticket from Anacortes.

We caught the 4:50pm ferry back to Anacortes, an 80 minute ride.
Then we drove to the inn in Anacortes that we
were staying at. After dinner, we did a little grocery shopping, preparing for four nights
of camping.
