g and r big weekend calendar

less than a week away, and we’re super excited and not the least bit stressed. [gretchen laughs…] can't wait to see you all at 5 pm saturday for the ceremony and reception, but incase you looking for things to do before and after that...below are a few other fun weekend goings-on:

THURSDAY 9/17
post-dinner drinks? -- don’t know if anyone will be up to the island this early, but if you are, contact us and we’d love to get together and explore all that the “metropolis” of eastsound has to offer thursday evening.

FRIDAY 9/18
early morning road bike ride? -- if anyone is so inclined to get out and explore orcas island on two wheels, cook father and son will be departing from eastsound between 8:30 and 9:00 am for a pedal around some of the island’s more scenic points – including a short pedal up mt. constiution. contact rich if you’re interested.

family/friends soccer game or just come by to visit -- at 1:00 pm, we will be at Eastsound Waterfront Park (on the shore, just on the west side of downtown Eastsound), where we hope that everyone already up on the island will come by for an informal gathering and soccer game. we'll provide a soccer ball and some cones. you just bring yourselves, maybe a sack lunch if you're so inclined, your shoes (if you want to play futbol - cleats not necessary), and your best freddie ljungberg impression.

SATURDAY 9/19
orcas island farmer’s market -- from 10 am – 3 pm there is a great farmers market in downtown eastsound featuring local produce (much of it organic), crafts, art, jewelry, clothing, pottery, food and drink vendors, and some of Orcas Island's service organizations (historical museum, master gardeners). definitely check it out!

kayak -- the san juans may just be the sea paddling capital of the NW. check out rentals here and get out there and enjoy all the beauty of this magical place on saturday morning. just be sure to paddle home by 5 pm.

hike/drive up mt. constitution -- if water sports aren’t your thing a hike or drive up to the highest point in the san juans is certainly a can’t miss activity. check out moran state park for more info. the view up there is amazing.

ceremony & reception -- the headliner...the main event...our wedding! be there or be square, 5 pm sharp, Odd Fellows Hall, right in eastsound – can you dig it? directions and location: click here.

SUNDAY9/20
breakfast -- we will be enjoying a very informal no-host breakfast at the Sunflower Cafe at 10:30 in eastsound. swing by and say hi if you're still around.
