Fort Casey (near Whidbey Island, WA) has always been a favorite spot for us. The fort was built and in use during World War I and World War II. Our kids always love exploring all the tunnels and rooms and passage ways that were used for storing amunition and supplies. This grassy slope overlooking the Puget Sound and just right of the fort has a panorama view and would be perfect for a "Cottage by the Sea" kind of life.At Fort Casey is also "Admiralty Head" Light house. It is not in operation anymore, but you can still climb to the top of the light house and look out over the Sound. There is a gift shop and small museum inside with informatin about Fort Casey when it was in full operation.
On the beach the boys are looking for more sea creatures, like starfish, crabs, and any creatures lurking under rocks.
Here we have found some "Sea Cucumbers" they are squishy feeling creatures, we picked them up and ran our fingers over the surface of their bodies, they are very soft and squishy, so handle with care.

Love the Pictures! Keep them coming! Looks so much fun!
I miss Washington, sigh!!! Lets see, how does the song go. "The bluest skies you've ever seen are in Seattle. And the hills the greenest green, in Seattle. Like a beautiful child, growing up free an' wild.
Full of hopes an' full of fears, full of laughter, full of tears. Full of dreams to last the years, in Seattle, in Seattle...
