Exploration

Well, last weekend we were able to get out and do some exploring!! We took the whole day, first visiting the Tulip Festival; then moved on to a neat coastal town called La Conner (known for their antique shops) where we walked around for a bit then had lunch.

From there we headed up to Anacortes. That was your typical larger city so we didn't spend much time there. It was still early enough that we didn't want to head home yet, so we pushed on to Deception Pass; which was really cool!

We parked and walked over 1/2 of the 900+ foot bridge which is quite high off the swirling whirlpool waters below. There is a trail below the bridge, so of course we took that about 2/3 of the way down to the water. On our way back across the bridge to the car we saw a Bald Eagle soaring above the trees. Of course I didn't have my zoom lens with, so no photos. :-(

From there we drove over the bridge and into Deception Pass State Park, which is located on Whidbey Island. We parked at a beach and walked around there for a bit before heading home; which was only about an hour drive away!!!!!!!!

In the next post I'll put up a few pictures from the trip.
