Hello, it is me Stefan! This week, I was in the Pacific Northwest. In Seattle, we went to a Mariners game (baseball). We went with our friends Simon and Theo, who we met at the dude ranch. The Mariners are not too good this year and lost the game 10 to 1 to the first place team, the Tampa Bay Rays, but it was still fun. We also went to the Experience Music Project/Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame, where I got to play with an electric guitar machine and learned to play the drums..
When we went to the San Juan Islands, we stayed on Orcas Island, which had a lavender farm, sheep and apple trees we climbed. I loved cutting the lavender. It smelled really nice and I gave a batch to my Mom.
While we were on Orcas Island, we went on a whale-watching trip and saw orca whales. It was cool when we saw them "spy-hopping," which is when they pop their head out of the water to see what is going on (check out the video in Tyler's post). There was a two day-old baby in the pod, but it was hard to see because all of the adults were swimming around it to protect it. I was able to see it for a few seconds.
