Day Twelve - Forest Grove, OR to Whidbey Island, WA



After a leisurely morning, reorganizing the car and some delicious buns – we were on the road again in search of a new state and a continuation of our adventures. We kissed the OR wine country behind and headed north towards Seattle. We arrive in Seattle and take in the sights. We visit Pike’s Market, seeing some flying fish and rubbing noses with the legendary pig. We then take the walk to the space needle all while acquiring some more souvenirs. With a few pictures taken we pile back in the car and head to the island, Whidbey Island. After a delicious ice cream cone and a ferry ride we find ourselves at Paul and Sue’s door. No sooner do we approach the door, both Mary and Zack notice the distinct smell of sauce cooking while I marvel at the location – Paul Sue sit on the Puget sound. We are greeted once again with a meal fit for royalty and good company. As the sun sets and we refill our drinks we look west and can actually see Canada! Tomorrow we will explore the island, take a photo of the world’s most photographed bridge and feast on some Dungeness crab.
