The Loop Drive to Whidbey Island

Friday turned out to be a long day, but that's how it goes when you're trying to fit a whole lot of stuff into a short period of time.  :)

We started out by heading to Bowman Bay and taking a short hike.  We have done this with several sets of visitors and it never fails to impress everyone.  It is a nice short hike with very pretty scenery.



Jared's favorite tree -- the Madrona.


A great place to take a family picture.


Off in the distance, you can see the blue sky trying to come our direction.


Thanks to another hiker, we were able to get a good group shot!


Max hiking along with Nayon.  He looks pretty content just hanging with Mom.


Addie looking at the flowers that her Dad picked for her.  What a nice background too!


Addie playing in the Sound.  Little kids just love throwing rocks in the water and having a good time!

We did stop to eat in Coupeville on Whidbey Island.  It was a very nice lunch on the water.  Since it was a bit of an overcast day we all had something warm and some wine.

When we got back to the house, we unpacked and settled in a bit.  That evening we went to Stone Restaurant in Redmond.  It is a Korean Restaurant that Kristina and Jared found a while back.  They were interested to see what David and Nayon thought, and if it was authentic.  It was a HUGE hit with everyone. The KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) was AWESOME!

After finishing dinner, we headed back to the house to have some birthday cake.  Kristina had made a cake, but we hadn't had a chance to eat it yet.  Tonight was the night. Look at Addie's face in anticipation of the cake...

Addie looks pretty happy in this picture...it must be pretty good!
