Keats Getaway

Last week we spent a delightful 4 days and 3 nights in this cottage on Keats Island-2 ferry rides away from the busyness of the everyday. It really felt like another world with trails through old-growth forests, tidal pools to explore, starfish on the beach, water taxis to ride in, and the best tire swing in the world. This is the cozy cottage-it even had a real fireplace to snuggle up by with a good book or knitting project on the rainy days.
Starfish we saw while beach-combing. and speaking of beach-combing.....


We took the water taxi into Gibsons for groceries and tasted the best fried oysters and halibut.
This is the view from our porch.
And this is one view from our sandy beach. Sometimes it's just nice to enjoy some different scenery.
