Today we headed up to Whidby Island for a day with Grandma Cummings. It was also to be the day that Arianna met her Uncle Alex but the U.S. Navy and emergency work interfered with the best laid plans. There were some firsts though. Arianna got her first ride on a boat as we took the ferry from Mukilteo over to the southern end of Whidby Island early in the morning. After breakfast and grandmas, we got to see her new thrift store and also went down to City Beach. In the afternoon we went to Deception Pass and got to recreate my favorite photo of Katie and I with the bridge in the background. I was paranoid about our little thrill seeker out on the bridge so we didn't do the walk across the pass. After walking under the bridge in the Whidby side we had lunch at an all you can eat Chinese buffet. Then we visited a farm and Arianna got to feed some animals and see a camel who loves to drink Pepsi's.
It was a great day and really good to see Grandma Cummings and spend some time on Whidby. We headed home around five and got back to West Seattle in just two hours with Arianna sleeping the whole way after her exhausting day.
