Three Hour Shower

No it was not a rain shower, but a baby shower. This is what you get when you have a ton of friends, a large family and throw a cook-out slash potluck lunch along with it. They even had a door prize drawing, your fee for your ticket was to bring one pack of disposable diapers.

After saying goodbye at the finish of the party we, along with Donna’s big brother and his wife drove back to Mukilteo and we gave them a tour of the Hogland House. The picture is our view from the room and what you see is the ferry that goes back and forth between Mukilteo and Whidbey Island. Donna’s brother Jim waxed nostalgic for ferry rides (they used to live in Redmond about 15 years ago), so we all hoped in the Sebring and went over to Whidbey. Made a little side trip to the small artsy village of Langely before getting back on the ferry to return to Mukilteo. We had dinner at Ivar’s right at the ferry landing, before sending Jim and Linda on their way to catch a plane back to Houston.

From the B&B’s room notes:

• …
• The bathroom light switch is behind the towel shelving.
• Sea-Tac airport is 45 minutes away on a good day.
• If you hear voices, piano playing or guests late at night and see no one, it’s just the nuns. The house was a convent for 15 years and occasionally they return.
