We saw Whidbey Island for the first time today. We chose to drive around to the north end and cross over onto the island via Deception Pass bridge. Partly because I did not feel like trying to find the ferry terminal for the south end crossing and partly because I had heard about how beautiful the bridge was. As we came around the bend in the road approaching Whidbey...we saw it! I stepped out of the car and snapped this photo from the side of the road. This was our first glimpse of Whidbey Island.
