I can't remember taking any leisurely Sunday drives last summer when gas was $4.30 a gallon. It was great to get back to this family tradition. Forrest had some outdoor locations for taking photos of Alyssa for her senior portraits so we set out for Skagit County on a beautiful Sunday morning. You'd never know by this photo that right behind me is a large Shell oil refinery. Our plan was to have lunch at Gere-a-Deli, a great lunch spot that Forrest and I frequent when we have lunch meetings in Anacortes. But, alas, it was closed. Many of the downtown restaurants aren't open for lunch on Sundays so the few that were open were packed. So we decided that ice cream would make a yummy lunch.
This view is from the top of Mount Erie. The lake is called Heart Lake. At the top of this mountain we came across a group of Austin Healey enthusiasts out for a drive. There were a dozen of the sporty little cars parked by the viewpoint. We took lots of test shots of Alyssa and got several good ones that might become her official senior portrait, but we decided that the rest of us needed to be in some photos too.
