EXPLORING WHIDBEY ISLAND 🌲 Food & Nature Adventures in the PNW

Today we go on a day trip to the islands! We explore Whidbey Island and drive through others. I filmed at Whidbey before, but we’re checking out new spots this time. We savor pastries at a local bakery located right next to a coffee roaster! We also soak in the blossoms at Meerkerk Gardens and stroll through a forest.

Then for lunch, we try a restaurant that feels like it’s in the middle of nowhere. Unexpectedly really yummy food! Across the street is Fort Casey State Park, where we walk through abandoned forts. We wrap up the day with ice cream at a farm and drive through Deception Pass State Park. Watch the video for the full island tour!

If it's your first time hearing about Whidbey Island, it's a wonderful place for both tourists and locals. For outdoorsy folks, check out the state parks and beaches. For foodies, delve into their seafood. Some of which is foraged right from this island! Be sure to stroll around the charming coastal towns. Whether you're into shopping at boutiques or buying fresh produce, Whidbey Island has it all. From personal experience, the island locals are friendly and I'll be visiting many more times because it's hard to fit everything on one trip :)

I absolutely love your travel vlogs, your calming voice and various descriptions bring back nostalgia of when I first began watching your channel. Keep up the good work, your amazing Mina!!

[jasminee]

That little dance party at the end! I love how serious you look compared to Mommy Oh, Mina! 😆❤️

[KarateKim]

What fun ! The two of you find the most peaceful, calming spots. And you include such pretty food and books. And Mommy Ohs fingernails look cute! And how great was the pretty girl at the Bakery describing and explaining the beautiful food. And the cute guy with the coffee roasting company, taking you through his set up with his family. You really did a 5 out of 5 video, my friend. ❤👍🙂

[TheTravellingScotsman]

The bakery and coffee house was amazing! They were so passionate! Take care of yourself Mina, get enough sleep :)

[victoriafloyd]

I love listening to you and Mommy oh you're such a blessing, thank for taking us along for the journey!

[Melza]

The girl in the first shop explained the treats so deliciously.

[PokhrajRoy.]

I’m so happy to see a new video on the channel after so long! I’m going to have great fun watching it! Also, I hope Mama Oh and you are in good health.

I live here and I love seeing people come here and enjoy the beauty of the island.
Sadly the sea biscuit bakery is shutting down January 9th 2024 but I loved the food they made, my favorites were the chocolate croissants and the hand pies.

[clairehachey]

Thank you so much for taking us along Mina. Such beautiful places to see and amazing food to eat. Cheers :)

[Fablebloom]

Seeing my home so beautifully videoed reawakens my love for this island - I'm glad you enjoyed your trip here!

[pattystordahl]

I live on this island with an amazing view of the ocean water and woods behind me. But I felt I was on the island for the first time. Restful visit and best video ever. You two are welcome back anytime. Love your mommy Oh

[alliecat]

I love the dancing part at the end lol You and your mom are a real treat to watch.

[nxmxx]

What a chill trip 🍃🌺🌿 thank you ladies for sharing such peaceful and nice places with all of us around the world 💛✨
Loved the dance party! 💃

[annalisadelfel]

I swear- if I ever see Miss Mina and Mommy Oh in the club, this better be EXACTLY how they get their groove on 🙌 Anything less would be disappointing 💃✨💃

[jasminee]

What a lovely impromptu vlog. Seems like you had some incredible experiences even without planning!

[esczaman]

Absolutely fun! Love this vlog! Do more food vlogs plz like these because these foods look delicious!

[Lynnsmhhh]

My brother lives in Washington and recently traveled to one of the forts. I never truly understood what else was so fascinating about the state but after all your vlogs, I've fallen in love. The best part of this video was the ending and the somber music with the outtakes. I truly admire you and your channels are def my favorite comfort.

[Knoewontheog]

Hey Mina! Your videos always relax me and make me really happy when I'm having a bad day (I suffer from depression and anxiety) so i just wanted to say thank you for being you.

[ClaudiaDCD]

I must be weepy, but watching people just open up to you and give these spontaneous tours and time to explain so much for you, hope in humanity opened back up? They seem super kind.
