Then it was time for our adventure! We had a beautiful drive through a lot of farmland. When it was time to go over to the island we first had to travel over Deception Pass. It was stunning. The water flowing under it was rushing pretty fast and the views were awesome.
Then it was time to drive over it! I don't like heights at all but the view was so awesome I didn't even think about how up we were.
Our destination was Oak Harbor. But when we got there it was SO freezing with the wind coming off the water. We just took a few pictures, checked out a cool windmill and jumped back in the car!
We drove from the top to the bottom of Whidbey Island. It got a little long for the kids but Darrick and I enjoyed it. We had planned a surprise for the kids at the end of our journey so that helped them stick it out. The surprise was that we were going to ride a ferry back home! When we got there we had about 20 minutes before we could get on the ferry so we took a few pictures. Cars had to wait in different lanes until it was our turn to drive onto the ferry. A big storm was coming so we were glad to get going.
The kids loved driving the car onto the ferry and the boys couldn't wait until we could get out and look around. Naomi was scared and held on tight to Darrick.
The kids enjoyed looking around and out the windows. It was only a 15 minute ride. Then we drove back off and traveled home.

We went to the front of the Ferry to watch us leave but soon went inside because of the cold.

Oak Harbor is where Doug and Bon used to live. I have been there...it is very beautiful! Maybe you can go again on a nicer day.
