<\/a><\/p>\nNext, we stopped at a park to check out the beach view. \u00a0It was very windy and the water was super choppy. \u00a0The dock was rolling like a bucking bronco. \u00a0I didn\u2019t brave walking to the end for fear that I wouldn\u2019t be able to keep dry.<\/p>\n Our next stop was Deception Pass, the bridge over to Whidbey Island. \u00a0We stopped before the bridge for some photo ops.<\/p>\n After crossing the bridge there was a parking lot so that you could get out and walk the bridge. \u00a0When we got out on the bridge it was so windy that I was afraid it was going to blow my phone out of my hands! \u00a0In order to get to the other side of the bridge you have to go under so you don\u2019t attempt crossing the traffic.<\/p>\n Deception Pass State Park was our next stop on the route. \u00a0Parts of the park were closed for the winter but there was a very pretty picnic area open. \u00a0We were able to walk around and watch the waves crash on the rocks.<\/p>\n We went into another state park. \u00a0We didn\u2019t really stop anywhere in it, we just drove through.<\/p>\n This was the last park we visited on Whidbey Island. \u00a0It had a cute short little lighthouse and an old battery. \u00a0The lighthouse was unfortunately closed so we couldn\u2019t go inside it. \u00a0The views were beautiful. \u00a0I think we got a little wind burned from the day.<\/p>\n Got a glimpse of a bald eagle when we got to the lighthouse. \u00a0I was quick enough with the phone to snap a picture.<\/p>\n We continued our drive to the southern end of Whidbey Island where we caught the ferry to take us back to Everett. \u00a0It was the first time that I had ever been on a car ferry. \u00a0It was a very pleasant experience. \u00a0The ferry staff were very efficient in getting the cars on and off the boat.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
