David's Visit

 We were delighted David came to visit

 Michael came over for lunch on Friday. The Kings were getting ready to leave on vacation so we weren't able to work in a whole family gathering - next time. 

These around the table conversations are my very favorite part of getting together with family. This is precious, precious time together. 

We took a day trip to Whidbey Island.

These deer in Langley couldn't decide which side of the road they wanted to be on. 

Drivers waited patiently for them to make up their minds. 

Had lunch in Coupeville at Toby’s Tavern. We lucked out and got a table with a beautiful view of the water.

North Beach in the Deception Pass State Park was our next stop. We drove over the bridges, on to Fidalgo Island, and then to the mainland. 

On our way home we stopped at a berry farm and bought fresh strawberries, raspberries, and two small berry pies. All were scrumptious. We topped off the day with salads at Hector’s in downtown Kirkland. Other outings included the farmers’ market at Juanita Beach Park and Padria for dinner. Of course, we had to have gelato at Sirena. We also wandered around Marina Park one evening.
