Time to leave (sniffle, sniffle)

Leanne fixed a huge breakfast of bacon and eggs for us. We ate every bit.

I did a couple more loads of laundry and then bid my new washing machine friend good bye.


It was so, so hard to leave. We had such a wonderful time with Leanne and Tom. It was great to see their house and just enjoy some family time.

We left with a flourish. Leanne walked down the street to stop oncoming traffic, Tom positioned himself near the RV window outside, I stood in the back of the RV and Ray, together with all of our help, backed the RV down the street.

Preston wasn’t even around the corner when he said “This was the best part of our trip”. We all agree.

Our trip is now half over and we are literally turning the corner. Today we turn south. Happily our drive to Seaquest State Park near Castle Rock, WA was uneventful. That is always worth a mention when traveling in UN-Faithful! We stopped at Wal-Mart to buy an egg-carton bed top for Parker. Bless his heart. He has been sleeping on the old pulled out sofa in the RV. He may have loved Leanne’s more than any of us since he got to sleep in her wonderful guest bed. I agreed to grant his request for some additional bedding help, even if for only 2 weeks.

I must add that today was our hottest day yet. It was above 90 and uncomfortably hot in the RV while traveling. We are not supposed to run the front A/C while driving or it will burn out the motor. It was really warm even with all the windows open as we drove. Even after parking for the night we were still very warm.

We did notice that the air vent in the bathroom was cracked. The boys volunteered to grab the Gorilla Tape and crawl on top of the RV to fit it. What fun! Preston decided he wanted to sleep up there. All of us were just a little more grumpy than usual.

Seaquest is probably my least favorite place we’ve stayed so far. Not much personality.

How great that seeing family has been the greatest part of the trip.

Sunday afternoon was awfully quiet without y'all. Thank you so much for coming all this way to see us. It was the highlight of our summer! We miss you and hope you will come back SOON!!!
