What To Do On WHIDBEY ISLAND? Fort Casey, Price Sculpture Forest, Deception Pass & More!

[@ronaldstarreveld]

Spent 17 years stationed there retired in 95. Will always have a place in my heart. Going back for a visit in July with the grandkids.

[@WanderfulRevolution]

Truly an unforgettable place to be stationed… enjoy your time in July!

[@meamamas8660]

My husbands orders is to there, so ofc we’re gonna b moving there tg soon. How’d you manage to b stationed there for 17 years? Did you put in a request to stay there for your new contracts? Both me & my husband thinks Washington would b perfect for us & we’d love to stay there for as long as we could in one place yk to have some type of stability for our kids, bcz he will sign for several more contracts, pls get back to this comment, we’d love to know how you managed several years in one place!

[@ronaldstarreveld]

@@meamamas8660 I went there in sept of 1978. I took back to back sea duty to stay there. In the 70’s and 80’s it was easy if you had dependents due to cost. Out of 17 years I had 6 years shore duty. Safe travels and enjoy your time there.

[@WanderfulRevolution]

We agree! We love Whidbey Island!!!

[@baileebolton]

Me and my husband recently moved to Whidbey Island and so far we LOVE it. So many fun things to do!!

[@WanderfulRevolution]

It’s a great place to live! So much much has changed! Wishing we could have stayed longer!

[@bonnieperkins4012]

Your cat smelled that seafood, loved the lighthouse, that bridge looked scary to walk across 💛💚

[@WanderfulRevolution]

I was terrified to walk across it!!!!!! Our cat thinks every food item is for her!!!!! Thank you for coming along!

[@TodayWeGo]

Love the ferry and the sculptures! Such a beautiful place!

[@WanderfulRevolution]

Us too! The ferry is a lot of fun and the sculptures were a great find!

[@pianogal853]

Ha! I didn't realize y'all were in the Navy! I was in for 12 years - possibly similar time as yours.

[@WanderfulRevolution]

I liked the sculpture forest! Hope you enjoyed your trip down memory lane! Thanks for taking us along!

We loved being back in Whidbey for a visit! Lots of good memories there! ❤️

Great, informative and fun content. Enjoyed joining your escapade on Whidbey Island.

Great video 😊. What a beautiful place and cool town. I loved that they give you access to an audio tour of the Sculpture Forest! Thank you both for your Service 🇺🇸. Safe travels 🥰

[@WanderfulRevolution]

Thank you Debbie!!! It was great to visit here and reminisce about the days we met! ❤️

[@suzanneaydelotte801]

Loved the views, ferry ride and sculpture park! That ice cream didn’t look too shabby either! 😋 Thanks for the tour! Safe travels!

[@WanderfulRevolution]

We enjoyed being back on the island for a visit!!!

[@sherriweber7105]

Loved the Sculpting park. My great uncle was into wood sculpting. He made a statue sculpting of Popeye. It was good too! He made a lot of them. How was the food at Seabolts Smokehouse Seafood? Jed you Sandy both had my favorite iskeam. I don’t blame Sandy for not wanting to go into that Fort. It looked spooky to me. Cute though that you found a bird there. It was nice to see that canon. That bridge did look scary walking by the side near cars. Great seeing that lighthouse too! Thank you fir this great video. Have a great week abs see you soon!

[@WanderfulRevolution]

Whidbey is such a beautiful place! If you ever make it here you have to check it out! ❤️

[@j6sj7]

So Sandy, you were in the Navy and you're not fond of boats or the water? That was one way to find out I guess! Neat sculpture park and all the scenic views were wanderful. Fried fish and ice cream with waffle cones... YES! Thanks for taking us along, and safe travels. -Burt in NJ

[@WanderfulRevolution]

It’s so difficult to get her on the water!!!! 😂 The walk at the sculpture park was a good excuse for some fried fish and ice cream! Balance! Good to see you as always Burt!!!

[@steve11656]

..but I thought at the beginning Sandy said she loved water...:)

[@deborahmcdermott6927]

The fish and chips sound so delicious. You made me hungry just looking at them!

[@WanderfulRevolution]

So delicious! We don’t normally like fried seafood but fish and chips are an exception!

[@deborahmcdermott6927]

@@WanderfulRevolution Fish and chips is the only fried fish we eat too!

[@sherriweber7105]

Aw how cute you both met in this island. I never heard of this island. So this is going to be nice. I laughed when you said you both were going to dump each other off. You both are so funny and cute together. I see why Jenn and Kyle love you! I love you guys too!

[@WanderfulRevolution]

LOL for the record nobody was dumped! 😜😂🤣

[@kirkduncan1189]

As always another wanderful trip The bridge looks fun beautiful scenery and as always great food. Love y’all❤️

[@TomLloyd-18]

hmmmm 🤔 @0:55 "I love water . . so this is exciting . . . " and a minute later @2:06 " you know I'm not a fan of the water". I'm so confused. Impressed that you were 1st ones on the ferry though.

[@WanderfulRevolution]

@@TomLloyd-18 sorry for the confusion 😅 Sandy isn’t really a fan of the water!!!! 😅😅😅

[@lornamackenzie343]

I didn't know you were both ex military!! Whidbey Island is so beautiful! Fish and chips! 😋 It was like a scene from The Birds 🤣 Beautiful Lighthouse. You always find great ice cream shops. What a quaint town. I love the Ring!!! (American version of course). Wow what views!! 💛💛

[@WanderfulRevolution]

Yup! We really enjoyed Whidbey when we were stationed here… but it’s also a great place to visit! The Ring is a classic!!! We should have watched it again while on Whidbey!!!

[@WorkingOnWhidbey]

Semper Fortis!

[@HrDKnockLife]

Wait did you say you were in the Navy and didn’t like the water? If so trust me your not alone. The sacrifices one makes eh? Thanks for the video. My wife and I are headed to Cliffside Rv Park on Naval Air Station Whidbey Island in July.

[@WanderfulRevolution]

Sandy doesn’t like water 😅 I love the water… maybe a little less now than I use to but would love to hear your experience at the park there!

[@HrDKnockLife]

@@WanderfulRevolution Well please tell Sandy she’s not alone. Anytime I tell my children I joined the Navy but wasn’t a huge fan of the water they get an odd look about them. Luckily for me the old adage “Join the Navy and see the world” rang true without me ever setting foot on a ship except for the U.S.S. Never Sail in boot camp😜. I would be shore based overseas for my entire naval career. Ok I digress! Are you familiar with the Cliffside Rv Park on Naval Air Station Whidbey Island? My wife and I are headed there the week of July 4th. Also do you know if there are 4th of July celebrations & fireworks either on base or near the base? Thank you! ✌🏽

[@WanderfulRevolution]

@@HrDKnockLife never stayed there… I have driven by… when we lived there we never saw many people staying there… but it has been quite some time ago! I believe the city does put on fireworks but I’m not 100%…

The swallows in Ft Casey don’t play around! They came after my boyfriend and I a few times now 😂

[@WanderfulRevolution]

LOL!!!! They’ll get you if you’re not careful!!!

[@Nycticora]

Fun fact: The doors of the of museum in downtown Coupevile were carved by my best friend's grandfather.

[@WanderfulRevolution]

That really cool!!! He is very talented!

[@Shelly-in-Tampa]

Oh where you met! So sweet! I guess we all meet somewhere. I met my husband when he got out of the Navy. I just got out of college and we had the same crazy idea to work for Disney World. He is from Long Island and I am a Virginian. Our meeting place is now a restaurant. It was mannequins at Pleasure Island. Doesn't that sound like a strip club? But no it was a Disney club not a strip club. Pure and wholesome but with alcohol. Lol! So not pure and wholesome and that's probably why it is gone.

[@WanderfulRevolution]

Lol it does sound a little like a strip club! 😂 didn’t know you are from Virginia! What part?

[@Shelly-in-Tampa]

[@Putapota21]

Do you ever give ur cat human food as a treat? Tiger loves cheese 🧀 chicken and once a year gets a can of Tuna and i always asked the vet because Tuna can cause little stones in the kidney or if they are peeing. Just to let you know when you can asked a wellness veterinarian that alkaline water is the best for cats and dogs i forgot what it does for them because i have a bad memory but you can look it up i know a lot of people think that's weird to give your animals special stuff but you know what it's only me and if i can have my cat live a long life so far he's 17 and he was just diagnosed with thyroid and it broke my heart because i almost lost him this year in May but he's doing a little better now. Does ur cat have any medical condition and if so how do u deal with getting meds since u are traveling to different places?

[@WanderfulRevolution]

Our cat also had thyroid issues! She’s 19 and takes medication twice a day now… other than that she’s still spunky! Kita also likes cheese and she loves her treats! Is Tiger the cat in your profile picture? He looks like a great kitty!

[@Putapota21]

@@WanderfulRevolution yes that's my baby boy!😻 lol see i have a bad memory i remember u did tell me ur cat had thyroid and u give them a pill right? Haha tiger is way too smart for that little cheeky Monkey 🐒 🤣 oh and wow 19 yayyyy for ur kitty!🤍🤍🤍🤍

[@cathyhughes6115]

I loved the views on Whidbey Island, but I could not walk on the bridge!

[@WanderfulRevolution]

We didn’t walk that far out… there are a lot of places to see beautiful views without venturing out there!!! Thank you for coming along!

[@marloaltomare2774]

Wait! You were in the navy and you don’t like water? Lol

[@WanderfulRevolution]

😂 😂 😂 I tell Sandy the same thing from time to time!!!!!!!!!

[@merrileeleonard6372]

Is the water always that low? It appears receding not just in Whidbey, but also the rest of the man-made smaller islands; including in Bellingham. Is global warming to blame? God bless. aug2023

[@WanderfulRevolution]

That’s a good question! We’re not really sure but nothing jumped out at us about the water level… we could have been there at low tide as well… thank you for watching!!!

[@SparklyStoner360]

It’s low tide lol

[@Putapota21]

I forgot you said you were both in the military so that's the Navy for you both and i know you said that you meant how long were you in it and you didn't want to make a career out of it? What places did you see while in the navy ? Thank you both for serving and keeping our country safe and you both safe travels and to your little kitty who loves to travel.🤍🤍🤍😻

[@WanderfulRevolution]

Awwwww thank you! Sandy and I were both in the Navy for 10 years… we decided to do something different and went to school to become nurses!
