Deception Pass

We have heard a lot about driving the loop around and going through Deception Pass so a few weekends ago we decided to venture out for our 10th anniversary and check it out. It was AmaZinG! We pulled over along with tons of other people and walked across the bridge. This bridge connects Whidbey Island to the mainland. As we walked across you could see the beautiful blue water churning and swirling as it was funneling into the canyon. Wow, even a little frightening!










After driving accross we went to the beach, then onto Fort Casey.

Fort Casey is a military base that was used to keep invaders from coming into the Puget Sound. Although it was never used in a war and there was never any blood shed there it was still cool to think that people used that place back in the 1930's. They did use it later for training during WWI and other wars. Carson was very intrigued by the huge canon launchers. It was cool to see the bunkers underground and imagine people walking and living there so long ago.

After being windblown we drove on and rode the ferry across back to Mukilteo. It was a first time for Darin to be on the ferry but fun for all of us as a family. It was a fun adventure!!
