We spent our Spring Break on the beautiful Whidbey Island this year. It's just Northwest of Seattle and it is beautiful there. Trevor and I just love the Oregon/ Washington coast. It is so different from the California or Florida coast with the thick green forests on the edge of the sandy/stony beaches. It really is breathtaking.
We stayed in an awesome 3 bedroom house in downtown Coupeville

The kids discovered the binoculars and enjoyed spying on our neighbors. ;)
Our first day on the island we went to Ft Casey to check out the remains of the military base there and the beautiful lighthouse.

We spent hours everyday on different beaches all over the island.
This dog was drawn to Trevor, he kept bringing him driftwood to play fetch. Some of the sticks were 5ft long. I had to laugh... Trevor couldn't get rid of him and the owner seemed to be oblivious for quite awhile.
The kids LOVED combing the beaches for treasures. Megan especially loves to collect shells and pretty rocks. She came home with 2 bags full!!
Deception Pass was our favorite beach. It was so beautiful and peaceful there.
We went on some fun hikes and ran into some HUGE slugs.
We were sitting in the house one day when I heard a helicopter and it kept getting closer and closer. I finally grabbed Davis and ran outside so we could see it and was shocked when it landed in our yard!!! Seriously, right in the grass like it was normal or something. It turns our the pilot knew the guy that owns the rental and just stopped in to say hi to him.
Davis cried and cried when it flew away.
On the way home we stopped to see the daffodils in Mount Vernon. Pretty.
What a great spring break!!!

Whidbey Island! Don just talked to a guy the other night about a selling his ophthalmology practice there. We were looking at the possibilities. Such a small world! My father lives about 45 min from there in Sequim, WA. (Don't know if you know where that is or not.) Thanks for the pictures!
