Sunday morning, we went to eat some donuts at Top Pot, ranked by City Guide as the best donuts in America. Their apple fritters are the best I've ever had. We went to church after that and that went well, but my family would have rather heard the senior pastor than the associate pastor.

We did a lot of driving for the second day in a row, this time up North to Deception Pass and Whidbey Island. We stopped for lunch at the Calico Cupboard in La Conner, where I had a turkey club sandwich and Troy had a spinach salad with apple slices, almonds, Gorgonzola cheese, and raspberry vinaigrette dressing. Troy liked his salad, but I didn't care much for my sandwich because it was drowning in mayo. But we did get a cinnamon roll to go, which we ate Sunday night and it was delicious.

We had clear, warm weather again when we were at Deception Pass. Since we've had a dry summer, a lot of the grass everywhere is a lot browner than normal, which made everything not seem as pretty. We went on a brief hike down to the shore, where it was slightly cooler. We only made one other stop, at Fort Casey. There were a lot more people there this time than when we were there for our anniversary this year. Lots of people were flying kites or just having picnics. We saw a mother deer and three or four babies too. We also went in the lighthouse building, which was closed for construction when we were there before, though the tower was still being refurbished.

We took the Mukilteo ferry on the way back to Seattle, where we at Thai food at Djan's. I was really surprised my parents, especially my Dad, were willing to try it. I was relieved when they said they liked it. It's really good Thai food and is pretty cheap for Seattle. We made a quick stop at Alki Beach for some pictures, then we went back to the apartment for dessert and packed everything for the trip to the Olympic Peninsula.
