Whidbey Island

The Tuesday before Christmas, we (including Carlos) decided we wanted and adventure.  Neither Carlos and I had ever been to Whidbey Island (turns out the second largest oceanic island in the lower 48) so we were off.  First stop, Langley.

Coffee, Pastries and good conversation!  And for those reading, this is the commencement of the crazy event that culminated on New Years Eve.

The view from Fort Casey, the Olympics are peeking through.

Fort Casey is one of the three forts that protect the entrance into Puget Sound.  It was most active around World War I.

It's a fun place to visit because visitors can climb all over the bunkers.

The last two of these "hiding guns" (brought over from the Philippines) are here on display at Fort Casey.

Here is the other one in the "hidden" position

 

Driving north we crossed over Deception Pass.

Looking out into the sound and Deception Island.
