Today we went over to Whidbey Island, just a short drive and ferry ride from where our sister lives. This area is gorgeous!
We saw two lighthouses. I would love to see every light house in the nation! I will add that to my list of things to do. 
We tried to go see a friend, but she was rushed to the emergency room for some complications to surgery she had a few days ago. Then we decided to go surprise another friend over on another island, but we found out we had to have reservations to ride a ferry that was booked solid. *sigh* So, we ate. At the Ferry Landing, we found an awesome place to eat. Try the chicken salad - it was wonderful!
Nate was adamant that we go to Ft Casey. Yeah, that was a lot of fun. I think that is a guy thing. He got to wander around it anyway. My theory is that every fort has the same idea; there is a war, the good guys are on one side with the cannon, the bad guys on the other with another cannon, they shoot at each other. Some die, someone wins and the war is over. The fort is left for guys to wander all over and dream of shooting cannons. I am not interested. Period. I walked and looked at fence posts, flowers and took a quick gander at the fort. 
The nature is always wonderful. I took these two pictures, one by the little sandwich shop near the ferry, the other near the fort.
Here are my sisters. We are having a great time traveling. This was on the ferry ride back to her house.
We are on our way out; over the hills, down the woods, to the falls and into Leavenworth we go. Back to the heat. Sure looking forward to that. NOT!

lol... your fort comments are funny.
i guess men would be fascinated - but having just re-visited Ft. McHenry a week ago, I have to say that this time, I really stepped into a couple of places and thought about it.
I mean, there were "boys" in those bunkers, actually getting bombed, and shot, while they defended the city of Baltimore. You know how fearful and determined you get when someone invades your home space, and so these were a whole group of our soldiers doing the same thing to an entire city.
And soldiers are so young! Can you imagine doing that when you were 17, 18 yo??
wow. It is something to think about.
In any case, it was good to go and see what you could see! A scrapbooker can always find something, right? :)
