Whidby Island--waiting on Roof Repair

Full timing in your rig does have some limitations. When repair is scheduled, regardless of assurances that you will be able to stay in your rig at night, a stay in a hotel just might be necessary! Our stay was not planned, hence comic to all who stood by and watched our frantic gathering of all items necessary for such a stay (initially one night...we thought...); our many visits back to our rig to pick up items forgotten, including an early morning run to replenish the dog food containers...! Such were the limitations and frustrations during the repair on our rig August 1-4.

So, we gathered up the dogs and took a day trip to Whidbey Island, riding the ferry crossing from Mukilteo to Clinton, at the bottom of the Island, and sight seeing up the Island, crossing Deception Pass Bridge, returning to I-5, making a circle back to Everett.

We had a perfect spot on the ferry, kind of our own private parking spot!

Rupert and Rusty loved it! The crossing took a little longer than usual as the outbound ferry was slow to leave the dock, so we enjoyed the scenery!

We stopped at Fort Casey for lunch, and to explore more bunkers built to protect the Sound, and an interesting light house built in a southwest adobe design! We enjoyed the day, stopping at the Deception Pass Bridge before leaving the water and heading east then south back to our hotel.
