Whidbey Island, Washington

The ferry rocked us from Port Townsend to Coupeville. Bo was on a call, so I went to the top and my hat almost flew off! Then Bo was getting a bit woozy, so needed to go to the upper deck to see the horizon. It was a wee bit choppy today, but a very fun experience to have while island hopping!

We drove South from the ferry and Hello Inn at Langley!

For diner, we thought we’d go to Village Pizzeria at 106 1st Street in Langley and eat on our deck … until we walked past Prima Bistro. We checked on a possible reservation and they told us they could take us in 30 minutes. So we headed back to our beautiful room and had a glass of wine. Thank goodness our commute back was three minutes and we got to see lots of fun art and bunnies along the way.

At Prima, we ordered to pickles and olives to start. Then split to clams with chorizo and the trout with butter and capers. We are huge crème brûlée fans, so we had to order one for dessert to share.

And goodnight from Whidbey!

The next morning, I got up early and sat on the deck watching the boats go by. The tide was receding, so we took that opportunity to walk on the beach, only to realize the tide would continue to go out and be a significant minus tide. I am always amazed that the moon is connected to the tides. Nature is so cool!

He was up early rowing his inflatable raft, not a bad commute!

Breakfast was included with our stay. Guests pre-order the night before, select a time, and then can either eat up in the beautiful garden or in room on the deck. We opted to eat in the garden and enjoy the tranquility of the water and nature. We combined out breakfasts of the classic Whidbey bagel, Alaskan lox, onions and fried capers with yogurt, strawberries, chia seeds, hard boiled eggs and truffle salt (by Ritrovo Selections and we are so excited to order some for our house!) We love traveling and discovering new foods.

When we check out, we had 310 on the Tesla charge and we were ready to adventure! We headed North to Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve to see where the farm land meets the sea. And we had a sighting of the rarely seen white deer!
