Mmmmm....
I just discovered these last weekend when we rented a cove-side beach house on Whidbey Island, WA.
Nothing like kickin' back on the deck sipping on a bottle or two of Shandy, waving to playful sea lions as the Blue Angels practice overhead in their F-18s. All this after a hard day of exploring WWII-era gun batteries, historic lighthouses and ancient trees in many of magnificent State Parks in the area.
