I love Seattle for many reasons. Obviously I love it because it brought me to Devon. But I also love it because it is so close to so many different things. In one day you can go from the city to the beach to the mountains. The mountains are my happy place. I was blessed to spend my teenage years living at the base of the beautiful Ruby Mountains in North Eastern Nevada. It was the perfect location for meditation. Some of my sweetest memories occurred in those canyons.
As you can imagine, moving to Seattle and being surrounded by buildings and offices instead of blue skies and open roads was a bit of a challenge for me. Every now and then I get stir crazy. With all of my schooling, work and wedding planning, I was about ready to explode. So this last Sunday, my dear, sweet, fiance swept me away to explore Whidbey Island. It was sheer perfection.
We played at Double Bluff Beach and watched all of the puppies. Devon had to hold me back from stealing all of them. I want one so bad! He's promised that in two years we'll start looking at getting one for ourselves.
We also made a sweet castle for a sand bunny.
After leaving the beach, we stumbled upon a gem of a shop. This guy has been blowing glass for 40 years and says he's still just beginning! The fact that anyone can do this blows our minds.
Grilled octopus at Prima Bistro - a restaurant that our friend Gabe used to work at and recommended to us. It was delicious!
Then Devon fell in love with an otter statue.
