The ferry takes you into Clinton, which is on the southeastern end of the island. The island is home to over 58,000 people and is one of the longest islands in the contiguous US....go Whidbey! Alright...enough statistics...let's get down to the good stuff.
So, Colin and I lucked-out big time...because we successfully caught the ferry on a beautiful Friday afternoon from Mukilteo and only had to wait about 30 minutes to drive aboard. Typically, the wait time is about 90 minutes....and sometimes even up to 2 hours during peak times! Yikes.
But we hopped on the ferry in my trusty Hyundai in no time...it was awesome. I've never been on a big ferry like this before. The only ferry I'd ever ridden on was a small 5-car ferry across the Yukon River...hah. I digress.
Like I had mentioned, the ride was only about 20 minutes. Just enough to get out of your car...walk up to the top deck...take a couple pictures, and go back down. It was a gorgeous day...and perhaps a little TOO sunny as you can see from Colin's face.
I made Colin take a picture of me, since I'm usually behind the camera. So consider yourself lucky that you got to see me in all of my awesomeness...(yea...I don't know what I'm talking about).
Nanny has lived on the island for more than 30 years and has moved around a lot. She's had houses on the water, and one right on a cliff that overlooked the sound....they were amazing places!
So we arrived at Nanny's house in Coupeville (right in the center of the island) sometime around 7:30ish I believe...which isn't too bad for having to get out of Seattle and crossing an ocean. After having a bite to eat, Nanny walked us down to the wharf on the water. The sunset was really beautiful.
Many thanks to my awesome camera for capturing the picture above...probably one of the best pictures I've taken on my camera....not just because of the sunset, or the lighting, but because Colin and his Nanny were so happy.
