We arrived at SeaTac Airport at around 6:00 AM, got our Dollar Rental Corolla and were on our way! We stopped at Wellers Cafe, 8490 Mukilteo Speedway and had this humongous breakfast that Joe, our very friendly (owner, I think) server brought me. The breakfast was so large we skipped lunch.
Art wanted to see the Boeing, Future of Flight Aviation Center/Tour. It was interesting. We learned that the Boeing building is the largest in the world and that Disneyland and parking could fit in that giant building. To my pilot cousin and friends, I have a video you can watch about it.
For mom and me, the cherry tree outside captured our attention the most.
We caught the ferry to cross the Possession Sound to Whidbey Island.
A lot of Dutch people settled in Whidbey and if the tulips didn't give you that clue, perhaps the windmills would help.
At Deception Point we saw this bird. I don't know what kind of bird it is but it had the prettiest song.
The view there was also spectacular.
These next few photos were from the Skagit Valley. We were just driving along trying to get to Vancouver at a decent hour when a splash of vibrant, sparkling color attracted us. The day was so beautiful, the colors of the tulips seemed even stronger. We had to stop and spend a whole lot of time there. My mother said if she saw nothing else on this trip, she would still be satisfied after having walked beside all these beautiful blooms.
Wow! What a day! I'm still so full of the hues, smiles and uplifted spirits of everybody at the farm who couldn't help but want to be friends with everybody because the flowers put everybody in such a good mood.
We did make it to Vancouver but we're totally exhausted and I'll have to stop now before I fall asleep at this computer.
