==Ideas==

* Land:
** 🥾 Hikes
*** Obstruction Pass Park (beautiful beach during high tide). Entrance to park is 30-min walk from our place.
*** Coho preserve, nice short hike next to creek/cascades. The entrance to park is a 40-min walk from our place, right next to Lascaux Cafe and Buck Bay. Fun to go there before or after eating.
*** Mountain Lake to top of Mt Constitution. Beautiful lake views and then amazing views of Mt Baker, Lummi Island, and other islands at the top of the mountain. Best on a non-cloudy day.
*** Walk around Mountain Lake. Fun to see the islands inside the lake. Also would be cool to kayak here. I think they rent kayaks too.
*** Walk around Cascade Lake. Most popular hike, perhaps. 
*** Turtle Back Mt, has awesome views of multiple islands on the west side. 30-min drive to trailhead.
** ⛳️ Mini golf https://www.orcasislandminigolf.com/
** 👩‍🌾 Farmers Market on Sat morning https://orcasislandfarmersmarket.org/
** 🚶‍♀️ Walk around Eastsound 
** 🪴 Orcas Pottery. Beautiful pottery store https://www.orcasislandpottery.com/
** 🚴‍♀️Bike around West Sound (rent bikes in Eastsound).
** 🚘Drive to the top of Mt Constitution 

* Water 
** 🏠 Sea kayaking from our beach: we have one 2-person kayak and one 1-person kayak, but they are lake kayaks, so not super stable if it's wavey, safest to stay near shore.
** ⛵️Sailing tour
** 🛶 Sucia Island kayak tour https://www.outerislandx.com/kayaking
** 🚣‍♀️ Kayaking in Mountain Lake to check out inside islands. I believe they rent kayaks at Cascade Lake and take them over there.

* 🏠 Home
** Cornhole
** Bocce
** Board games (Codenames, UpWords, Ticket to Ride)
** Gardening: help us pick some lettuce and radishes from our garden
