Whidbey Island!!

I took a little one day trip the day after Christmas to Whidbey Island to see my Aunt Marilyn, Cousin Alix, Cousin Scott and their families. I haven't seen any of these fantastic relatives for over 2 years and this visit was long over due! I loved visiting Coupeville! The scenery was fantastic and I couldn't resist taking countless photos of the land, water, and my beautiful family members.

Washington is beautiful!

This photo was taken on the ferry ride from Mukilteo to Whidbey Island.

This is my Cousin Alix and her Nephew Milo. SO CUTE!!

Scott and Alix posing on their family's farm. What a great place to be a kid!

Scott is skillfully selecting a hubbard squash or two for me to take home. I already made squash soup and it was delicious!

A scenic lighthouse on the West side of the Island.

An old fort created to protect us during WWII.

Old pilings from a bridge that is no longer. Scott and I were obsessive photogs and it felt great to be with my like-minded cousin!

Had to make time for a little bit of yoga.

Waterfront near downtown Coupeville.

Mt. Baker from Toby's. (The local bar where we indulged in a few beers)

My brilliant cousin Scott.

This wonderful home belongs to Marilyn's mother, Jean. It was so beautiful inside and out!

Milo and Thea looking absolutely adorable.

More photo fun.

Can't get enough of these kids!

Hello eyelashes!!

Aunt Marilyn and her Bichon.

Oh.... this visit was so fantastic! I only wish we had more time. It was great to catch Scott and his family while they were up here from Southern California. We missed Corrie and I need to make a trip to Seattle to hang out with her soon!

I really treasured this visit! Thank you for showing me around, feeding me and making me feel loved! I love you guys!
