Whidbey Island


We left Anacortes on Thursday and headed to Whidbey Island across Deception Pass to visit our new friends Tom and Janice Punch. They have a few acres with pond and we just had a wonderful time visiting with them. This view is from the "bog" area on the back of their property toward the house. You can see the mh parked there. The ducks are on the pond swimming around in the foreground.

We parked next to their shed area and had a great view of the pond every morning.


The ducks from next door liked to come over each day and swim around. Janice is a prolific gardener and has lots of beautiful plants and a wonderful mulched path around the pond in the wooded area. It is just like camping in TN!!





This picture is of the Olympic mountain range across the sound. There is lots of driftwood but you can't take any with you -- it's the law!! I know my friend Cheryl would have loved to get a truckload of this stuff.

We went to the town of Langley on Saturday for sightseeing and wine tasting.

We had a beautiful sunny day and the temps were in the high 60's. Just perfect.

Tom, Janice and I are enjoying the scenery here. Terry and Tom wait on a bench while Janice and I shop. Not much shopping for me, just looking.



Above is a driftwood sculpture of salmon and I thought was very interesting. Just one of the many things to see in this seaside town.












The boys are waiting patiently here for us as we stroll around.



The girls had choice on wines to taste. It was very hard to choose.

It was a great trip to the northwest and we are definitely going to go back. You don't find friends like these everywhere you know!
Well, glad I got a chance to get these pictures out there so now my camera is ready for more adventures.
Sandy
