Our parents vacationed with us for a few days on Whidbey Island. We stayed at a large beachfront home on Admiralty Bay near the Keystone Ferry Landing, and took day excursions out to Goss Lake, Coupeville, Langley, Fort Ebey, Deception Pass, Tilth Market, and Greenbank Farms. Nice and relaxing…

Surprise! The small ramshackle shack on my parents’ Goss Lake lot was completely squashed by not one, but two, very large trees
