A Days Drive

A days drive is like a walk in the park. They (Jerry, Jane, Mark, and Amber) clamored off the cruise ship with their travel engines pumped and headed North to Mukilteo and Patty's Egg Nest. I had to meet them there because there was no room in Jerry's vehicle with four bodies and one-thousand pounds of luggage.

After a luggage drop off and a Jan pick-up...

We hit the ground running. Patty's did not disappoint. The Mukilteo Ferry to Whidbey Island did not disappoint. Seabolt's in Oak Harbor for clam chowder and fish and chips did not disappoint. The drive, scenery, Mt Erie, and Sips Ahoy were equally satisfying. The Sips Ahoy bikini barista was mostly clothed from what I could see, however, Jerry, Mark, and Amber who saw her derriere said she did not disappoint even if she had a little bitty t-shirt on top. She did have beautiful eyes.

Jerry and I were 100% satisfied and yakked the whole way. Amber was about 73% satisfied with the drive through the woods up Whidbey Island, and Mark about 59%. Although they did doze off and on, Amber assured me dozing off and on had nothing to do with how much they drank on their last night on the cruise ship. And Jane in the rumble seat? Well, Jane quietly took it all in.

We arrived back in Mukilteo in time to meet-up with the boys for dinner at Ivar's where the clam chowder and fish and chips did not disappoint...

... and neither did the boys.

I couldn't hear all that was being said because Jerry and I were at one end of the long table yakking, but I could hear laughter, lots of laughter, emanating from the other end. Roger and Christian can talk every bit as much at Mark and Amber. Jane? Well, Jane and Ian sat quietly.

Today the Harris' go home to rescue their dogs, jobs, daughter, and little Miss Elsie, the boys head to work, and Jerry, Jane and I will hit on a perfect exploratory excursion. Woods or ocean? Ocean I think, that is something they don't have in Okie City. And Jane will -- well, you know.
