Fort Casey – Whidbey Island


It’s early on still. But you will probably notice. We road trip a lot. And this means lots of research, making local connections and using all of our resources. My favorite resource is locals. 

Back in April we went on a road trip to see the tulips. Which were amazing. But I want going to drive 18 hours just for tulips. So I needed something else to see so I reached out to those that know the area best and talked to my Instagram buddy @youdidwhatwithyourweiner (check out her blog it’s super rad) and she suggested Whidbey Island. 

Our messaging back and forth led to one of my favorites days on the trip. And the highlight was our relaxing afternoon at Fort Casey.

Yes, you read correctly, a fort. We went on Easter Sunday. There were quite a few people there picknicking, flying kites and walking there dogs. But the area was so spacious the crowds melted away with the breeze and sunshine. 

My favorite part was definitely exploring the fort. These two pups were ready to protect the island. 


We saw an awesome light house and had a picnic in this nice spot protected from the chilly wind. 


After walking around the fort we just sat in the grass enjoying nature and the peace of brings.
