Country Roads on the Island

Whenever we have a few days on the island, I like to find the roads less traveled. Some have destinations, some are just going along for the ride.

One morning we wanted a special treat so we drove to the Café In The Woods at the Mukilteo Coffee Roasters.  

We were hoping for a full breakfast, but alas, their kitchen was closed, so we settled for Blueberry Danish, and of course, coffee. 

We will want to come back when it's a little warmer and we can eat outside. 

Another day after shopping in Freeland for garden supplies, we drove backroads to see what we could see.

So much beautiful green in late spring. 

We found Cultis Bay. The tide was out. 

We found Maxwelton Beach. 

Even though the wind was strong, Tom raised Jill's Orca flag. We would be leaving and Jill and Irene would be arriving for the weekend. 

Beach walking is not something I can do well now, even though the tide was very low while we were there and Useless Bay was not always full of water, as it was in these photos. 

Driving country roads was a good substitute.
