Bike ride & the Goose


Going on a bike ride.  

There's a gravel path 50 yards from our backdoor.  It eventually turns into a nice bike path along Crescent Harbor.  


 A little boardwalk section.  Fun to ride on.  


All smiles.


Our turn-around spot at mile 1.5, so this makes a perfect 3-mile out & back. 


It was a very low tide that afternoon.


On our bike route, there's a park that we pass right by.  So, of course we had to stop and play, on the way back.
  

Those specks in the sky are seagulls.  They are everywhere along this shore.  The screeching & cawing is pretty constant.  We hear them from our apartment sometimes.  I think it's cool, helps us remember how close we are to the shore. 


My view... as I sit on a park bench, while the kids play!  It's WAY pretty here!  We are all loving this rotation.


We hiked Goose Rock again.  It's a nice, easy hike that is close by and has beautiful views.  It's quickly becoming a favorite hike.  





A naval airplane coming in, getting ready to land at the Naval Air Station.  

View of Oak Harbor, the Naval Air Station, the Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains in the background.  

Like I said, It's so pretty here. It feels like we're living in a forest as much as an island.  Wish you could come & visit us!
