Fort Camp Casey

Johnny and Shaine have been wanting to see a lighthouse so we decided to take them to Fort Camp Casey.    It's a wonderful place to visit.  Not only can you climb into the old bunkers, but walk along the beach.  Fort Casey State Park is located on Whidbey Island in Washington state. Admiralty Inlet was considered so strategic to the defense of Puget Sound in the 1890s that three forts, Fort Casey on Whidbey Island, Fort Flagler on Marrowstone Island, and Fort Worden at Port Townsend, were built at the entrance with huge guns creating a "Triangle of Fire." This military strategy was built on the theory that the three fortresses would thwart any invasion attempt by sea. Fort Casey is now a 467 acres (1.89 km²) marine camping park enjoy the gorgeous view.  It was a little damp, but we had a wonderful time and the kids were so excited about climbing up into the lighthouse.  The USS Nimitz is currently 20 mins. away from us in Everett so hopefully we'll get to visit the ship the first week of August.
