Photos of our trip to Whidbey Island, WA
I know this is a bit late, but here are some pics of our trip out to beautiful Whidbey Island, WA.
Both Al and I really enjoyed touring in our rental car before I began art school.
This was taken from the plane of the sun setting over (I believe) the San Juan Islands. Later I was able to take a tour by ferry with my (new) friend Vi, which I thoroughly enjoyed. It is so beautiful on a clear day!
This is the first beach we saw the following morning (Useless Bay). It was overcast and felt like we were in Alaska, with all the driftwood on the beaches and the huge evergreens. There was not another soul in sight! We loved it!
By the time we got to Deception State Park (what names they have =), the sun was out, and it was really clear, not to be taken for granted in the Puget Sound. We were very excited to be there - it was so gorgeous!
My Sweetheart!

My Sweetheart! The water was so very blue - but of course it does not show in the picture.
The seaweed there is so strange. Here is Al playing with a 20 foot piece of heavy seaweed, using it as a bullwhip, before it whipped him - ouch!! We both got hurt - boy would our grandsons have loved this, especially the cowboy, Andrew =)
This is the famous Deception Pass Bridge. The currents are so very strong and fast-moving through there as they have 12 foot tides this time of the year.
It was pretty scary standing on this bridge, as we were so high up and could feel the bridge moving. It was also windy.
Taken from the bridge.
We took this one for Sean. (By the way Sean, is there a sign that says "NO KAYAKING" yet at your pool? =). This bridge looked like an enormous erector set.
We sure enjoyed touring Whidbey Island. It was a wonderful experience. I'm so glad Al came up with me and we were able to spend those few days together before the course began. It certainly is a beautiful place, and everyone who lives there seems to love it.

I got some great pics to paint!

Wonderful pictures, Mom! It makes me want to go visit out west. We'll have to do a trip in your RV sometime - wouldn't that be a memory maker.
