Today was a very belated father's day celebration for Drew. On the 'real' father's day our plans were hindered by a dreary rainy day. We decided then we would postpone and do Drew's favorite activity on a nicer day and today was simply perfect.
We were out the door early and caught the 9AM ferry to Whidbey. I think going to the island is one of Drew's favorite things. In less than an hour we feel like we are on vacation surrounded by the rugged beauty of the Pacific Northwest. We always find ourselves at Useless Bay once we get off the ferry and today was no exception. We spent the morning looking for crabs and jellyfish, finding (and stomping) on shells and throwing rocks. The beaches might not be white sand, but there is just so much to explore - the boys just love every minute.
We stopped in at the Bayview Farmer's Market on our way to lunch and indulged in some huge blueberries and an amazing chocolate, marshmallow, peanut baked bar (it didn't last until after lunch - we ate dessert first today). After that we found a little pizza place for lunch and sat outside in the sun enjoying the view. By the time we got home this afternoon, we still felt like we had the whole day and enjoyed a family walk, some yard work, Frisbee throwing and barbecuing steak for supper.
Drew is just such a fabulous dad and we are so lucky to have him!
