You Can't Really Mean It!




Alec, Brielle, and Amara were struck with amazement when we told them about our plans to go para sailing from the cliffs at Fort Ebey.


Where There's a Will There's a Way


When Jennah was told that she couldn't bring her bunnie, Nibbley, she donned a pair of rabbit ears and declared; "I'm a rabbit too! What'cha gonna do about that!"

Keep an Eye Out

Watch out for these guys. There has been a lot of discussion about giving them driver licenses. Even though they are legal citizens they don't exhibit any sign of appropriate street sense.

Points of Interests: Hiking for National Treasures




After hiking for miles on end in search for the "General Grant Tree", Janet was disappointed to find it had blown over in the last wind storm. She was even more disappointed when she learned that the "General Grant Tree" is not in Washington.

Points of Interests: Sunsets


We have many beautiful sunsets posing over the straights as the sun slips behind Victoria in Canada. These sunset shots were taken from the Deception Pass Bridge. You will want to see the Deception Pass Bridge with water that moves in all directions at once and maintains different water levels. Boat propellers often lift out of the water when they climb from one level to another.

Points of Interest: The Snagboat Museum

The Snagboat Museum is fun for children and adults. This is a Steam driven Snagboat that was used to clean "snags" out of all the rivers in the Puget Sound and Skagit River waterways. Storms and winds knock over trees and tear off big limbs that find their way to the rivers and the sound. They block travel and become known as "Snags". These boats are designed to pull them from the rivers and clear passage. The most amazing point of interest is that this very steam powered vessle was still in use in the 1980's. It's located in Anacortes, just 30 minutes from Oak Harbor.
