Whidbey Island

I am way too far behind on adventures to write about them all, but this day was really fun and I am excited to go back to Whidbey to explore some more.
Seattle has a ton of islands around it. I actually heard on the radio that Washington has the largest ferry system in the world. Whidbey is a bit to the north. Once we got to the ferry station, we waited for a few minutes and then drove aboard. The ferry ride is only about 20 minutes...enough time to get out of the car wander up to the deck and enjoy the freezing view.
Whidbey is a long narrow island so there is a lot of it left for me to explore. We drove north to a trail called Ebey fort. Before starting our hike we went to this small town for lunch with a view and then started off on our hike.
The day we went was supposed to be sunny but we decided to do it anyway. It turned out to be a gorgeous day! Sunny and clear and quite perfect.
The hike takes you up along a ridge and then down to the beach...lots of farmland around and beautiful views!
