Our Leavenworth trip last year was so much fun we decided to do it again. We went to Washington again, this time to Whidbey Island. We rented a small home right on the entrance to Penn Cove, outside of Coupeville.
The house was super cute - big windows facing the beautiful cove.
Going to the Puget Sound in January, we didn't really expect to have clear skies, but we were lucky to have beautiful blue skies almost every day. The cove was gorgeous too.
The cove was so calm that Jared decided to take his brand new stand-up paddleboard out on the frigid water for its maiden voyage. Dani said "Don't fall in - I'm not coming after you!"
We went one evening to Deception Pass. We hiked up to the bridge and watched the currents as the water rushed through the tight channel.
The sunset from the beach at the park was gorgeous!
We enjoyed walking along the beach to Coupeville a number of times.
There were interesting structures and buildings along the way.
Coupeville was a cute town. We had breakfast a couple times, walked up the wharf, and walked into some shops. It was a quiet place with an easy lifestyle.
One day took the ferry to Port Townsend for an afternoon. We had lunch, explored the shops and some of the history of the town.
A big part of the fun was the ferry ride over!
A view of Mt Baker - a treat in January!
A quick stop in Seattle on our way back home
We love this time together. This year, we reminisced over the past year, made personal and family goals and continued to enjoy in our wonderful friendship and love.
