On Tuesday we returned to Fidalgo Island and crossed over to Whidbey Island on the amazing Deception Pass Bridge. The morning fog was just beginning to lift off the bridge as we walked out across it. The view to the Strait below was too scary for me to make the walk over the water. Terry loved every step across!
Two tugs were pulling a float of timber under the bridge so I had lots to watch while he walked.
Next stop was lunch at the lovely little town of Coupeville (in the spring a headland area slipped into the Strait here). The hanging Baskets of flowers all over town and the sea salt air filled the streets with fragrance and I wanted to stay for days!! We visited the town Museum a part of the only National Historical Reserve in the US. The community joined together to preserve the community and surrounding prairie farms and the Park Service created a local Trust Board to mange it. We didn't find the local Reserve farmland coastal walk, so now we will have to return! Whidbey Island is at the top of my Favorites List now.
It was fun to share stories with the volunteer hosts there. I think we'll start a Lighthouse visit list too.
