On our way home from Lopez Island we decided to take the scenic route, as usual, through Whidbey Island. Here is the bridge, also known as Deception Pass, that you drive over to get to Whidbey Island. Many Orcas are seen in these waters, but not by us. :(
Whidbey Island has a Naval Air Base which allowed Erik to see quite a few fighter jets. Pretty cool!
Instead of driving straight through Whidbey Island I begged to stop in the quaint little town of Coupeville, also the place where Practical Magic was filmed. Joss and myself usually watch that movie around Halloween time, so we were definitely star struck when we got to Coupeville.
Crazy enough we ended up stopping for lunch at the same store that was used as a potion shop by the character Sallie in the movie. Joss was in her glory! As was I :)
Then as we started heading back to the car to go home, we walked pass this Inn and decided to see if there were any vacancies just for kicks. (I mean we all were in need of a hot shower). We were in luck! Not only did they have a room available, but it turned out that this hotel was the same one the crew and cast members of the movie Practical Magic stayed inn!! Well Joss and I were sold. :)
Just enjoying the adorable little town. (population 1680)
A view of the town which felt like we had stepped back in time.
It was sailboat racing week. So many beautiful boats were out in the waters.
High Tide
Crazy low tide the next morning!
