Everybody loves a good getaway vacation.  Spending time away from the real world can be an energetic rejuvenation experience.  With that I wanted to get away from everything. 
Living here in the Seattle area getting away to the outdoors and in nature is very simple to do.  Just last week, I headed out to Whidbey Island (http://www.whidbeycamanoislands.com/). 
It is just a ferry ride away, but we decided to take the northern route through Deception Pass .  There are no major freeways, just highways and two lane roads.  In fact, there’s a major
Naval Base on the Island.

When we got to our location, it was the Farm House Bed and Breakfast (link here).  It is located on a couple of acres, on the countryside with a great view of the Puget Sound.  There are
plenty of things to do there even though you are out in the middle of nowhere.  On the farm they had animals to play with and feed; tons of bunny rabbits, 2 goats and 2 donkeys. 
All were well behaved and eager for a carrot snack to eat.  In addition, the rooms are well decorated with country charm and hidden surprises that you would not find in a normal hotel are placed throughout the room.   

 We also went to local towns nearby such as Langley and Coupeville.  Langley has a breath taking view of the mainland on a cliff.  All the towns have a sense of community and old
fashioned themes on the businesses in the area.

At the Farmhouse they also have horseshoe pits to throw horseshoes in and a hot tub that overlooks the view of the sound.  It is truly a magical and relaxing place. 
We will definitely be back to visit and we enjoyed are time away.

NOTE:  Please take a look at their website.  It has more detailed information if you would like to visit.
