ANOTHER DRIVE ON THE ISLAND

Kathy and Warren have been on Whidbey Island before and have many great memories to share. Today they all headed South on the island to one of those memories in the town of Freeland.  It was about an hour long drive to the Greenbank Farm and Wine Shop and Farm for lunch. A lot has happened since their last visit, and not just the pandemic. Pretty much everything was closed and lunch was out of the question. The farm was to be sold to a developer but that was stopped and the farm is now the Whidbey Island Land Trust. Just a few shops were still clinging to life, but most of the visitors were just hiking the hills with their dogs. Luckily, the pie shop and the wine shop were still in business. They purchased this Marionberry pie and some dessert wine. And the hunt for somewhere to eat lunch began again.

There were so many people everywhere they went that they decided to travel back over the Deception Pass Bridge to the Shrimp Shack in Anacortes.  Big mistake, there were a

gazillion cars on the bridge and just as many people lined up outside the restaurant, and they were all too close together without masks. So, they turned around went back over the bridge and ate lunch at home. This is a picture from the bridge looking toward Anacortes.

We are waiting for Gianni to be released from the hospital tonight. He's doing much better and I can't wait to give him a big lick! Tomorrow we head to Leavenworth, Washington for the next 3 nights.
