Whidbey's Best Kept Secret - on the Seaplane Base

Oh my gosh!  What a great afternoon we Whidbey Island Sketchers had at the PBY Memorial Foundation Historical Museum on the Seaplane Base in Oak Harbor.  This is an amazing museum and I think few on the island know about it.  Trust me - it's worth a trip... NOW!  Thanks to the great team of curators who filled us with knowledge about the PBY as well as the info in exhibits.  Really - you must go see this place!!
