Yesterday we returned from an Easter weekend road trip to Seattle and Whidbey Island, a quiet country island off the coast of Washington. The trip started off a bit slow as we waited at the US/Canada border for two and a half hours on Friday morning. It turns out that the combination of the 4-day Canadian Easter weekend + the Canadian dollar inching ahead of the US dollar = tons of British Columbians flocking to Washington state to shop!
After a fun afternoon and night in downtown Seattle (including two fantastic meals!), we drove and hopped a ferry to Whidbey Island. We stayed in a neat little cabin with a deck and hot tub overlooking Penn Cove, which is known for spectacular mussels. And since we love hot tubs AND mussels so much, of course we had to get a big pot of mussels and eat them while lounging in the hot tub!
Luke enjoyed time at the beach, where he tried to touch every single smooth rock (and surprise! tried to eat a few). He also giggled his way through a short Easter morning hike riding in the pack on Keith's back.
It was a nice weekend and I'm glad we were able to explore another lovely spot in the Pacific Northwest.
