I am really lucky to have a wonderful group of sisters and sister-in-laws. I am even more lucky when we get to spend time together and laugh as loud as we want. We got to spend a week together on Whidbey Island and it was a wonderful time. Here are 5 new things that we found that we love.

The Braeburn Restaurant

Madrona Supply Company

Ebey’s Landing Bluff Trail

Washington Park in Anacortes

Bayview Farm and Gardens

Thankful for the Gift of Travel

I have been blessed in my life to travel to many places near and far. Every time I hop in the car or on a plane, I get thrilled. I am so excited about where my next adventure will take me, what I will see and who I will meet. Even in the year of COVID, I have been able to take 11 trips (most very close to home) but I have discovered new things and new places I want to go back to.

Get out there and discover even if it is something close by. Take that Saturday to do go explore that town you have always been meaning to get to. Then start planning for future longer trips. Wanderlust really is a thing and it is wonderful once the travel bug has finally bit you.

Here are 5 destinations that I have loved (since I cannot list all of my destinations).

  1. Archipelago of Gothenburg Sweden
  2. Blarney Castle & Gardens Ireland
  3. Na Pali Coast State Wilderness Park Hawaii
  4. Grand Teton National Park * Jackson Hole Wyoming
  5. Deception Pass * Whidbey Island Washington

Whidbey Island Part 1

I just love exploring and it doesn’t matter to me if it is near or far from home. In fact, I love exploring close to home because my schedule doesn’t feel crowded with trying to see the things that I might not be able to see again. When I stick closer to home, I know I have the ability to come again and again so the little things that I stumble upon become more important and I “see” the area better.

Just recently I was in Washington for an extended weekend trip around New Year’s and I was able to do just that. I was able to concentrate my time on Whidbey Island (and do it without the crowds). So here are 5 things on the bigger scale to see and next month I will share 5 things on the smaller scale to see.

  1. Mukilteo
  2. Coupeville
  3. Langley
  4. Anacortes
  5. Washington State Ferries
