It may not appeal to everyone but I think it has a lot of different things to offer. The beautiful landscape is something to behold. Huge bluffs, natural marshlands, rocky coastline, lots of flat roads to bike ride, sea glass to collect. As well as loads of wildlife. All just 90 minutes from Seattle.
Several small towns are scattered about with terrific restaurants (a whole blog unto itself!) and loads of shopping ... from candy stores (including a black licorice store!), top notch galleries, souvenir spots, clothing, doo dads, furniture ... you name it.
Whidbey has lots of history as well as a Naval Air Station (the boys are going to love to watch the Growlers touch and go). Fort Casey still has bunkers and cannons you can explore. Admiralty lighthouse.
Ebey's Bluff
Yep ... we saw these guys every day
Beautiful flight of a Blue Heron
Langley has wild bunnies everywhere!
I found two pieces of green sea glass.
Janet found this many every day!

Sounds like my kind of place! Glad you had a good time.
ReplyDeleteVERY relaxing so we had lots of time to just enjoy Mother Nature. Can't wait to see if Braeden and Deacon love it as much!
