Happy Birthday to Me!

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.

Girlfriends

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.

A Pig!

Local 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!

Happy 55th Birthday
