This drive-in theater seriously takes me back in time. It kind of feels like the Twilight Drive-In…read morefrom Riverdale lol, and the whole experience is just way more fun than a regular movie theater. Tickets are around $7 per adult, and you get to watch 2 movies. They also have an arcade and a huge food menu, which makes it feel more like a full night out instead of just watching a movie. The food itself is nothing amazing. We got the curly fries and they were a little soggy for our liking, but honestly I'd still order food there again because it feels like part of supporting the place. The whole spot has that small local community feel, and you can tell it's one of those places people keep coming back to for the experience. If you've never been to a drive-in before, this is such a fun one to try. I'd take this over a regular movie theater any day.

If you're looking for a place to watch movies while you sit in your car (with the radio on to the…read moremovie station) or in the back of your car (with the hood open), then this is the place for you! With high theatre prices, seeing more than one movie for less money is a gift. Especially where you can freely take whatever snacks you want (even if it's a whole meal that you somehow got there). And if you forgot your snacks/drinks, no worries because there is a shop where you can get food. There's also an arcade, so if you need something to do while you wait for the movie to start (other than reading a book or scrolling through social media), that's something.

We stopped by to waste some time before we could check into our hotel. When we arrived, there was…read morelive music, food trucks and booths selling goods. There was a sandbox, swing set, a swimming lagoon, beach access, a playground and the cutest splash pad. We were just looking for a grassy area to sit and play and when we found Windjammer Park, we hit the jackpot! I highly recommend this park. It has something for everyone and it's dog friendly!

Windjammer Park is located along the waterfront in Oak Harbor. It has a paved walking path that…read moreruns along the beach, but not on the beach itself, that has staggered informational placards to the side. The park is a pleasant place to come even when there is thick wildfire smoke. The breeze from the bay might not completely clear the smoke away, but at least it provides some circulation of the air. My grandma and I like to come here and eat lunch together. We like to sit and eat at a covered pavilion stocked with picnic tables and a kitchen, though the kitchen requires advance reservation to use. A playground is adjacent to the eating area. My grandma likes to people and pet watch as we eat, I prefer to watch the water and try and spot any birds or other critters that might be out. It can get a bit cold depending on the weather and the wind. Even in the summer months, we both bring an outer garment to wear. The parking lot by the baseball fields is where we park and it can get a bit crowded if busy. Still, it is a parking lot easy to maneuver in.

As a military spouse I am appalled by the behavior of these people. They are people who give recruiters a bad reputation. I have and will continue to share this information on military spouse and community Facebook pages in hopes I can prevent other young people from falling prey to these predators.

There are at least 3 local galleries I enjoy visiting every few months: Garry Oak Gallery on…read morePioneer in Oak Harbor, Penn Cove Gallery in Coupeville and Scott Milo Gallery in Anacortes. They are wonderful sources of diverse-medium local art and provide shopping opportunities for economical gifts representing life on Whidbey Island. Garry Oak Gallery offers a diverse selection of pottery, blown glass, paintings, jewelry and wood working. The displays are well lit with plenty of space to offer perspective. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. Absolutely no pressure. Combine it with lunch at one of the nearby restaurants and you are all set.

The time availability, Golden Hour Tour discount, and Anacortes departure allowed us to narrow our decision. We were very pleased with our three our tour. However, it did not seem like it would work well for beginners as basic skills were needed to paddle and navigate. I never quite got comfortable with the peddles for turning and would have had them a little lower as my feet slipped off a couple times. I could not bend my knees enough to reconnect the peddles for turning on my own. Our guide assisted me which held up the tour though. We were in a tandem which worked well for us as my husband was recovering from surgery. We were covered with a skirt to keep us dry for the most part. Some water did leech in to wet our bathing suit bottoms so we were glad we brought a dry change of clothes at the end. We saw eagles, seals, jumping fish, and other birds. Whales do not come in this close to the main land so we had no expectation. The water was like glass in parts, slightly turbulent in others, and the island shores simply serene. If you stuck close to the guide, he was very knowledgeable.
