On the ocean

Tuesday morning I headed up to Whidbey Island, my first area during my mission. I started out on top of Erie Mountain where you could see all of Whidbey Island, some of the sound and the other side of the sound. During my mission we used to meet the other missionaries on top and we would play capture the flag. Some missionaries would take it to the extreme and wear camoflauge. If they were still enough you could walk right past them and not even know they were standing there. Camoflauge really works!!
The last time I was on Whidbey Island there was an earthquake that hit Seattle. Wouldn't you know it, there was an earthquake yesterday. It was only a 3.0 but still!!! I'm staying off that Island!

It was an extremely nice day so I decided to stop off at Deception Pass Park and walk around on the beaches for a little while and then go over Deception Pass Bridge. The walkway on the bridge was scary because on one side was over a hundred feet down with turbulent water. The other side of the walkway was the highway, which only gave you a few feet to walk. When passing people on the walkway it was hard to decide which side to pass them on....the water side?...or the car side...where you could get hit.

After grabbing some lunch I drove to the south part of the island and took the ferry across the sound back to Everett. It was a very scenic day and once again saw lots of green. I guess I shouldn't have wore green!
When I met up with my friend back in Seattle we headed to the beach in Kirkland and walked around checking out the girl scenery. I have to admit, the beach scenery was a lot better than Whidbey Island. After we had our eye candy for the day we headed to downtown Redmond and played some poker with his friends and then sang some Karaoke. Save a Horse Ride a Cowboy was the favorite! Fun day! Great night!
