Whidbey Island Day

For the past few days, have been having good home made food! What a nice change to be actually wondering what dinner would be, instead of wondering what to make for dinner. Ah, not having to wonder what to have to cook after I get home from work, what a nice life!

So this weekend is one of the hottest weekends ever in Seattle. Friday was soo hot that after dinner, we went and looked for a fan... but ended up getting a rug instead. Now my place has a nice pretty rug... but still no fan. But meh... I have a rug!!! :)

The next morning, we set out to Whidbey Island for a nice and relaxing day there. We visited a friend of my aunt's and was shown the island. My aunt's friend place was very nice and very pretty. Had a great view of the mountains, and was very bright! Most of the windows did not have any blinds at all, and were these big windows that let in alot of light. Strangely though, the house was not overly hot from the sunlight, and not excessively bright. It's nice enough that instead of living like a vampire 24/7, I am starting to consider opening my blinds during the day at my own place!

After lunch, drove an hour or so to this place called Deception Pass... which had a pretty nice view. Took a bunch of pictures and even saw a seal! On the way back, went to good ol' Baskin Robbins. Haven't had it since OAC.. still ever just as good!

Returning to the Seattle area, went to a restaurant and tried Peking Duck. Wasn't expecting too much, so wasn't overly disappointed. The duck was crispy, but the way they skinned it... they REALLY skinned it. There was zero meat attached to the skin, so it was just getting skin with the bread. The color wasn't all that shiny and bright either. Though the main part wasn't done well, the lettuce wrap was actually pretty good. So I guess it wasn't too too bad. So the hunt continues for the perfect Peking Duck in Seattle!
