Today we decided to go over to Whidbey Island as it was our Anniversary tomorrow the 31st.We took the ferry over and were just in time to get on.In the summer it's good to have reservations as it's a small ferry and it gets very busy.Coming into to Coupeville there is a campground right there on the water.Looks a nice place if you want to be on the water.(it's a state park I believe.)After getting off the ferry we drove to Deception Pass and parked so we could walk across the bridge.It was a beautiful day and the view was very nice and peaceful.We could see people out on the beach enjoying the day.
We proceeded on to La Conner,one of my favorite little towns. Since it was our anniversary tomorrow we were going to eat at Palmers and when we got there it had been closed. The Indians were having a gathering across the river,every year they have a gathering in different places and canoe to the event.I guess put in lots of money to build the area up with gazebo type structures.They had free breakfast and dinners every day.There were lots of people attending the event.
We headed back to Coupeville to have some Penn Cove Mussels and stopped to eat at Toby's.The Mussels were good and Sam had the Fish and Chips.
After finishing dinner we had to hightail it to the ferry.We had to try and get the 730 ferry otherwise the next one and last onewas at 930.We arrived just as the ferry was coming into the dock.We were the last one on that didn't have a reservation.Thank goodness we made it on. We a wonderful day to celebrate our anniversary.
