Interested in a Daytrip?

[Carlos Cruz]

Hi Fellow Cascaders,

I hope you're all doing well.  It looks like it's going to be a fantastic
weekend weather wise.  I'm considering a leisurely tour of Whidbey Island
for Saturday or Sunday this weekend and thought I'd toss it out there in
case anyone is interested in meandering and exploring for a day.  I'm
thinking an early ferry crossing probably 8:30 AM on the Clinton-Mukilteo
run to Whidbey Island.  We'll make our way up to Coupeville and stop off at
the Coupeville Coffeehouse for breakfast.  Come learn why the locals gather
at the coffeehouse to watch sea gulls and chew on topics such as "*if you
had to choose between sex and chocolate, which would you pick*"?  Don't ask
me - it was in the Seattle Times.

We'll spend the day walking the waterfront, the shops, the Admiralty Head
Lighthouse and possibly the Lavender Wind Farm.  Heck we might even bump
into Rosie - the 33-foot gray whale.  We may even sample the Penn Cove
mussels at the Oystercatcher, Mad Crab (*sounds like my ex-wife's joint*) or
Toby's Tavern for a late lunch or early dinner.  Afterwards we'll head over
Deception Pass then back home.

There's no set agenda, or timetable so there should be plenty of time to
take in all of the antique shops, pubs and other local sites.  Drop me a
note if you're interested in going *and let me know if you prefer Saturday
or Sunday*.  I'm trying to decide if I should take the Healey or not.  It
will be an easier decision if there's interest from you guys.  Please let me
know.

Cheers,
Carlos Cruz
