Beachcombing in the San Juan Islands

Whidbey Island Highland Games (the first of many...?)

Isabella and her Papa had their first opportunity to "experience" a proper, if not small, highland games. To make the day extra special Karen, who took me on my first trip to Europe (when I was 12, to compete in Scotland) surprised Isabella with her first kilt! Much to our delight Isabella seemed to really enjoy both the bagpipe music and "the wearing of the kilt." Perhaps we will have another dancer in the family?
