We left Marysville, WA this morning and visited La Conner, WA where we toured the town. A beautiful place and there are many restaurant, shops and art gallerie. Garry took the photo at left because he wanted to show the tidal range (10-12) feet and the slough that runs through the town. We will go back on Wed, to visit the Quilt Museum, which is in the book of things you muts see before you die. On the way back, we visited the Deception Pass area between the mainland and Whidbey Island. Garry had gone through there years ago on his own boat and there were whirl pools 40 feet across and 15-20 feet deep. We did not see any today, but did see the formation of some. We also took a photo of a yacht passing through against the current which is a no no. The best time to go through is during slack water and that last but a short time between tide changes.
Check back tomorrow and we will have photos of the Quilt Museum and who knows what else. Our new Sony Viao laptop is wonderful and fast and makes Skype easier. So if anyone wants a video chat on Skype, call us and we can do video or non video chats with you.

Hi Carol and Gary,
This is my third attempt at trying to send a comment/reply. Hope this one works! We've been checking on your adventures through your blog. It sounds like the really exciting part is about to begin. Take lots of pictures and enjoy the moment!
Brad's waiting for the grass to dry so he can cut the lawn. It's been raining a lot here. I'm counting the days until school is over and I can see "all" of our granddkids at the wedding in Phoenix.
Take care and happy trails! lv Marilyn
