Melissa's "Only Child" Moment

We had big plans this week to celebrate that everyone was gone to camp but Melissa. But we had to adjust to make a quick trip to Whidbey Island. Mike and I wanted to check out some property that we were considering buying on the Island. Our retirement dream....

So that meant that Melissa had to spent her only child days traveling with Mom and Dad and...

Eating her favorite - Subway!

Sleeping alone in a queen sized bed....

Staying in a hotel and eating out and enjoying one on one with Mom and Dad...

Being the first kid to see the property...

Having a lighthouse named after her - we called this "Lissy's Lighthouse." It is a cool, old lighthouse on the property.

This is a beautiful piece of water view property - it is water front but along a cliff so there is really no access from the property to the ocean. But it is so pretty and the realtor cued an eagle to fly overhead while we were checking it out just to make sure we were sufficiently charmed by the beauty of the place...

Riding the ferry is always fun!

And shopping at the Coach outlet store was fun too....Love the green! Thank you honey!
