Washington Trip

I had a 5 day weekend and Jake only had a two day weekend, so I headed to Oak Harbor, Washington to visit my youngest brother, Sheldie!!  It was a nine hour drive, but one bonus was that you can pump your own gas in Washington!!  Score!  I always make Jake fill my tank here in Oregon because it really bothers me that I can't pump the fuel myself.  The attendants here always take FOREVER to do it for you!!  Ugh!  Honestly, I've been pumping my own gas since I was 16, and I think I can do it myself!!  It was so nice to go back to a normal state where I could do it on my own again.  Anyway, back to the trip......

These were all over Washington.  Ow.  Ha ha ha.

This is the bridge at Deception Pass

And some kayakers under the bridge at Deception Pass.

Sheldie's helmet for his job in the Navy.

A plane in Sheldie's squadron.  He fixes these planes called Prowlers.

This is the view from atop Mt. Eerie, the tallest point on Whidbey Island.

We ended my stay by going to a Everett Silvertips hockey game!

We also went on a motorcycle ride, and had dinner several nights with some of Sheldie's friends.  I had a great time and it was nice to actually meet all the people I have heard so much about!
