Sea Kayaking in the San Juan Islands

Mom and Dad took a day off and went to the San Juan Islands to go sea kayaking. Mom's been wanting to do this since we moved out here, but I'm getting a little jealous of all these trips without me. I have started carrying around mom's slipper with me everywhere I go as a way to show my discontent, but I don't think they are getting the message.
Mom on the ferry, it was a beautiful ride.
Arriving at Friday Harbor.
Bull Kelp, this stuff is pretty impressive. It's all over Useless Bay too. In the background you can see Canada.
Peaceful kayaking, in a divorce boat. I'm happy to report that my parents seem compatible. They have now been through the divorce boat test and no one fell in the water and there were no arguments, in fact it went well.
See, mom's even smiling near the end of the trip.
Dad's still thinking about tipping them over.
Mom and dad saw seals and sea lions. Mom wishes that they had their own boat to go kayaking anytime they wanted. I had to remind her that it would not be a good investment since I could not be included on these adventures, she agreed.
The ride home.
Here are some videos of the day. Mom said she really did paddle on both sides, but they were trying to head inland (ask dad for the truth).
