What do I want to do?
Small goals and intentions that are easily achievable and fun.
All of this to be done of course with D.
I wanted to do more local adventures. Day trips, weekend getaways, and keep it all local.
Well a couple weeks ago we had an adventure.
We decided to have a date night.
We hopped the ferry to Whidbey Island and headed to my favorite little town of Langley.
We found a parking spot and wandered over to Saltwater Fish House and Oyster Bar right there on First Street downtown.
Side Note: D eats oysters. I up until last October would not eat oysters. Last October while in Langley with friends, I ate a slew of oysters and fell in love with the mollusk.
Back to date night.
We hit the ferry on our side, timing it just right so that we didn't have to wait to board for more than a few minutes.
We made it to Langley just before four p.m. Got seated at a table and we were in business.
I ordered six kumomoto oysters which earned me a very wide eyed look from D.
He ordered a couple smaller ones.

Then I ordered two more.
I chose the Midnight Bay which are the really big ones you see pictured below.
They were really big.
They required a couple chews.

It was all so good!
Our main courses were mussels for me fresh from Penn Cove and D had the Seafood Boil which looked and smelled amazing.
We topped it of with a slice of the best carrot cake I have ever eaten.
If you live in the area or are visiting I highly recommend a day trip to Langley.
We just went for dinner and a quick run around town and were home by 6:00 but it was such a fun date night we can't wait to do it again.
