This was quite a weekend!! We got packed up on Wed and Thursday and headed over to Whidbey Island for the 4^th of July weekend. It was sweet to be just the three of us for a night and day. Emma, Steve, and I stayed in an adorable little inn called the Saratoga Inn in Langley on Thursday night. It was a beautiful, cozy little bed and breakfast with a perfect view of the Puget Sound. It really had every kind of accommodation you could hope for—a lovely gourmet breakfast, comfy bed with adorable room decore, fresh ice and cold drinks, friendly staff, and an idealic location…walking distance to the water and all the shops in downtown Langley. I give it a 5 star!!!    

Breakfast was a huge treat!!! The coffee was awesome! Hot and perfectly brewed with fresh cream and sugar. They had tiers of banana chocolate chip muffins, a large fruit platter with pineapple, grapes, melon, cherries…fresh crepes with cold whipped cream and peach, raspberry, toasted almond, and cinnamon filling, and soaked granola with strawberries and raisins. They also had these delicious Mexican poached eggs that were served with a special sauce, homemade guacamole and salsa, and warm corn tortillas. Wow. I could get used to this!! We tried a little of everything and it was ALL very tasty!!! I wish breakfast looked like this every morning…what a treat!! I ate breakfast with my coffee and fresh orange juice at this adorable little pedestal table with a lamp and comfy wicker chairs…I may have to incorporate this idea at home, I loved it so much!! 

  Emma LOVED the beach !
