While on Whidbey Island visiting our friends the Gardners we were hosted at their house for a wonderful lunch overlooking Puget Sound and the Pacific ... the view from their living room is unmatched.



And this one from their kitchen is really spectacular. The grassy area outside the window is about 200 feet above the water and is a favorite feeding place for the bald eagles.

Here's Richard and I at a pub in the little village of LaConner as we had a couple of local brews and walked the streets of this quaint town across the river to the east of Whidbey Island.

And Wanda and Jo-Anne walking among the driftwood on the beach near our RV park.

On another excursion to the little town of Coupeville on the eastern side of Whidbey Island we went to a place called the Mosquito Fleet Chili ... funny name but great food.

Richard had their signature chili, Wanda the clam chowder, Jo-Anne some mushroom spinach quiche , and I had one of the best turkey sandwiches ever ... all served with fresh olive bread. Every dish was excellent, fresh, and well prepared.

And finally sitting with some street art I mimic with some recently bought chocolate wine after the four of us did some wine tasting at a local shop.
