The first Sunday of our Staycation we took an impromptu trip to Whidbey Island for a little Sunday Getaway. The drive to Mukulteo (sp?) went great, the ferry ride was fun (we got Hot Chocolate), and we decided to head to Coupeville. Upon entering the ONE street that was Coupeville, we decided we had made a mistake going to Whidbey. Fortunately we ran into some people we new were as impressed as we were with Coupeville and who suggested we check out Langley. Since it was back the way we came, we went there and had an enjoyable time. We ate at a little bakery went into some fun shops and just walked around the two streets that are Langely. Promising the girls we would go to the beach, we headed back towards the Ferry Terminal to play at the beach. Much to our surprise and horror there was a HUGE line of cars waiting to get on the ferry. We saw a sign from where we got in line that the typical wait time from that point is an hour and a half! Yikes! This would be hard for any adult let alone a 21-month old and an antsy 4-year old. Luckily we are rule breakers and just let the girls play around in the back seat, unbuckled, while we SLOWLY crept forward. Two-and-a-half hours later we made it on the 20-minute ferry to head to a birthday party. By the time we got home that night we were all exhausted. Who knew sitting in a car could be so tiresome. Haha. So no, I don't think I will visit Whidbey on my own accord again.
Below are some pics of the day (on the ferry over, at the bakery and on the ferry on the way back <can you see the relief on our faces>)
