Sandy is attracted to wind mills and takes pictures of them where ever she finds them. This one is in Oak Harbor, Whidbey Island.
Beautiful retirement community in the heart of Oak Harbor on Whidbey Island.

Leavenworth, Washington July 9, 2009Featured last Christmas on the Travel Channel's 10 best towns in the U.S. for Christmas decorations. This town was about to become a ghost town in the late 1950's until 5 enterprising townspeople reinvented the "village" into a Bavarian themed oasis. The town sits high in the Cascades of central Washington and seems perfectly suited to the Bavarian facelift. It is charming and brimming with charm and flowers, all the while serenading all with piped and broadcasted Bavarian music. Sandy was in Seventh Heaven. Great "eye candy".
Ellensburg was a surprising treat in the high desert of Eastern Washington. You first see it as you begin your descent from the high hills. It is a green oasis of irrigated farms in a field tan dry grass lacking moisture. Washington Central University is located in this town.
