Taking the ferry to another island for the day, or to Victoria for the weekend

Going to farmer's markets

Driving east into Cascade National Park along the Skagit River

The Anacortes Art Festival and Coupeville Art Festival, both in August

I've never been to those festivals, Marien. I usually alternate between the Bellevue and Edmond festivals.

tansy, I haven't been to Bellevue or Edmonds, but I want to sometime. When are they exactly?

The Anacortes Art Festival is GREAT! I go for all three days. Smiley Happy First day, just to check out everything and see what I like; second day to buy; third day to make sure I didn't miss anything. {#emotions_dlg.laugh}

The Coupeville one is nice too; I think there is more variety at Anacortes, but it's fun to walk around Coupeville on a nice day and eat mussels. Smile

soaking up some sun on the beach, with a nice comfortable beach chair, an umbrella, a good book, some tunes, and a nice drink!

The Edmonds one is coming up fast. It's June 13 -15. It's relatively small but enjoyable. The Bellevue one requires stamina and comfortable shoes. It is scheduled for July 25-27.

Don't think I can make the Edmonds one. But maybe the Bellevue one....

Do you get up to Whidbey Island sometimes? There is a lavender festival there the same weekend..July 26 & 27. Lavender Wind Farm. It's small but fun, especially on a pretty day.
