From Washington State take the Anacortes ferry through the Puget Sound to Friday Harbor. This Marina is surrounded by clear blue water, evergreen trees and views of Mt. Baker. We stayed at the Euro chic boutique hotel Bird Rock Hotel we shared a community bathroom, enjoyed plush beds, nice soaps, a so-so breakfeast that was a bit disorganized and started late for us early risers. The hotel did provide single speed beach crusisers and suggested a nice 45 minute island loop. The weather was spectacular; sunny and 70 degrees for our kayak trip on the west side of the island. We seen seals, jelly fish, salmon, star fish, bald eagles but we had no orca sightings. Discovery Sea Kayaks were perfect for our expierenced group.Our first night on the island we were hungary and tired and unfortuntely chose Haleys Bait Shop Grill, perhaps the name should have warned us that the food would be more suitable to be used for bait! Black Ball. The short visit to this beautiful island was wonderful, the colorful flower baskets liven up the streets. There is a conscience effort with many of the establishments here to practice sustainable environmentaly friendly business.

I had stayed away from Rose Family Dental for 2 years because of their billing procedures. I had a cracked filling and asked my employer how much I should expect to pay. I even got a written quote from Rose Family Dental and was ok with the out of pocket amount $154.00. I had the procedure done and was very impressed with the practice of Dr. Karl. Friday September 4th I received a statement asking for $219.00 !! Needless to say that was not what I had in mind for Labor day weekend. I will personally go into their office Tuesday morning and if this is not resolved in a professional manor I will have to officially put Rose Family Dental on my BLACK BALL list.
** UPDATE ** 9/8/09 I visited with Rose Dental this morning and went over the billing. Their was a billing error taking my balance to a more manageable $3.20!! I really like Dr. Bob, Dr. Karl and the two front desk help employee's ( sorry no names ) but this billing practice has happened 3 times now. I will officially have to put up the yellow flag; experienced surfers only, no life guard support.
