Now, we had to be creative at this point, because from the hotel we had to get to the car rental agency so that we could start our drive up to Oak Harbor to meet up with Grandma and Ron. So, we hopped back on the shuttle to the airport, passed an amazingly clear view of Mt. Rainier on the way, and then had to hop onto the shuttle to the rental car. We were put into a Subaru Legacy, in blue with a sunroof. We were the first to rent this vehicle and as it was a beautiful day, we started the drive up north. We stopped at a grocery store, and picked up some scones for breakfast. The drive to Oak Harbor was non-eventful, but even in the 6 months that it had been since we had been there at Christmas time, there were many changes in the roads. The Holiday Mart was totally gone, and roads are being widened as we drove. We stopped into Frontier Ford, gave Ron a big hug, then were on our way to Deception Pass to get on the boat to harvest some crab pots that mom and Ben had placed out a few days ago to gear up for the trip. We again were blessed with amazing weather, and Geoff got the opportunity to pull up the pots. Overall, there seemed to be about 15 crab for the trip, and they put them in the live well on the boat for later on in the trip. That evening, Geoff and I went over to Grandma's house to wait for Ron to come home with dinner. He brought us Subway, which we ate on the porch watching the ocean and different boats come in. Ron got some fishing done before bed, and we were all asleep by 10.
