Today I turned the Big 55 and had a wonderful day. Diana and I played 9 holes of golf while the boys toured the Boeing Factory. We played a very nice Municipal Course, Walter Hall Golf Course which was right next to the Boeing Factory. I hadn’t played since we were in San Jose but I played my regular game; some good shots, just not on the same holes!!! I did improve my putting where I averaged less than 2 putts per hole and I played all 9 holes with the same ball and no Mulligans!
The boys really liked the 90 minute tour and said they saw a lot of planes being built. The big deal is they saw new 787 which has all kinds of new stuff that they thought was really cool – me I just want to know, Will the new planes have more leg room?
We met up for lunch a a local joint for a sandwich. Philly Ya Belly served up a great philly cheesesteak and the garlic fries, wow!
After lunch we headed for the ferry that would take us across the sound to Whidbey Island. A quick stop at Deception Pass where we took a walk on the bridge and caught a photo before moving on to Anacortes where we plan to spend the night.
I don’t think I will ever get tired of these views.
We arrived in Anacortes, found a motel for the evening and headed out to dinner. On the way we spotted lots of cute little shops that were closed. My kind of shopping since I don’t have room for the stuff anyway. I am learning that some of the most interesting stuff is outside on the streets. The sidewalks of Anacortes were littered with lots of art.
Dinner was at Adrift where they serve local grown ingredients in very creative dishes. I had a Crab AuGrauton and of course dessert, Sr. Cream custard with lots of berries!
I’m going to tell Roy about the pig! I wonder how much it costs? He’s doing a show this weekend in Marysvlle-Happy belated birthday!
Happy 55th Birthday…
