Happy Place ~ West Coast RV Adventure 2023 ~ Day 24

Well, I’m not gonna lie, we all went to bed last night a little blue, and I woke up feeling the same. But Mom and Dad were already up and moving! So that’s normal for Dad, but not for Mom. We like to hang out in bed together for a bit every morning. Mom said, “Up and at ‘em, chica!” (She calls me that sometimes.) Dad explained that Mom called and got a campsite at Lake Crescent, and we were out of here!! Yippee!! I kinda feel as if we didn’t give Port Townsend a chance, but ya gotta go with your heart, right? 


 

Low tide on the Strait looked really different from high tide last evening. But the lake was calling. It was a glorious sunny day, and the drive back up was pretty. The excitement and anticipation was palpable. We all couldn’t wait to get back to Lake Crescent, our happy place. 




 

A big bear met Mom when she went to register for our campsite. And a mama duck with really bad hair and a bunch of babies greeted us in the creek behind our campsite. She really wasn’t very happy to see us though, and she let us know. What a weird noise she made! The bear was much nicer. We got the campsite all set up, and then we just basked in the beauty of the lake. What a perfect afternoon! We explored a little. Dad always skips stones. I explored the tall grass. I laid in the sun. I laid in the shade. Mom and Dad read. We all stared at the lake. And the babble of the creek provided wonderful background music. As Mary Poppins would have said, it was practically perfect in every way! 























Dad built a great campfire, and I helped with some sticks. Mom and Dad had dinner outside by the fire. We sat by it until the last embers burned out. Turns out, this trip has reminded Mom of just how much she loves a campfire. We were all definitely in our happy places today! 



Then before bed, Dad grabbed a spoonful of peanut butter. He usually lets me lick his spoon. And he was all the way on the other side of the table. So I thought, I better make sure he doesn’t forget. I hopped on the table and walked over to remind him!! I knew I was probably going to be in trouble. But guess what? Mom and Dad just laughed. I guess some rules don’t carry over to vacation!

Take Me to Texas ~ West Coast RV Adventure 2023 ~ Day 32-34 and Home!

Well, by now, you’ve figured out that we’ve been home for over five weeks. Mom and I just had soooo much to do when we got home that we’ve been a bit slow finishing up telling you about the end of our trip. So here goes… We were up and at ‘em this morning cuz Dad said we had a ways to go today. We headed south through Utah and the ground started turning rocky, red and desert like again. We went along the border of Moab National Park. Mom said it was a teaser preview of one of our future Great RV Adventures. Your guess is as good as mine as to when we’ll take that trip, but I’ll be sure to let you know when we do. Anyway, it made for some pretty scenery.    As we got closer to and entered Colorado, it was as if we were on two different trips. Out the right window were the red rock formations, and out the left window was a beautiful view of snowcapped rugged mountains. It was crazy! God sure has a very creative but interesting sense of humor!   Our campsite for the night wa...

O Canada ~ West Coast RV Adventure 2023 ~ Day 25 & 26

We woke up to beautiful warm sunshine and a glassy lake. In fact, the Lake was so still, that you could barely tell where the lake started and stopped because of the perfect reflection. So pretty! Sadly, we are leaving this little slice of heaven today. So I just soaked up as much sunshine as I could.  Leaving Lake Crescent, Mom took a bunch of pictures from the LHOW window because, this time, we knew we wouldn’t be back anytime soon.    We headed back to Port Angeles, for the second time in a couple of day, but this time we really were going to take the ferry to Victoria. Port Angeles was a cute little town. Mom would have liked to have shopped more, but we had to grabbed some breakfast before getting on the boat. They did have really odd looking “people” on the streets.    I was pretty excited for my first boat ride. And this boat was pretty darned BIG!  First they had Mom and Dad answer a bunch of questions, and then Dad drove the LHOW into the bell...

Let’s Get This Party Started!   Hope Travels 2023 ~ The West Coast RV Adventure – Day 4 & 5    We woke up to a sunny, pretty day, and all I could think of was, “Let’s Get This Party Started!  I was checking things out even before Dad got the privacy curtain down. After we packed up and took a trot around the Kampground, we were off!     Dad said we had to make hay today, whatever that means. I think it means just drive a lot, because that’s what we did.     Time for my morning nap! We went by something called Hoover Dam but didn’t stop because Mom and Dad have been there before. Then we entered into Nevada.   We made it into Las Vegas. Mom said “no” to Dad’s “do you want to go put some money down on the tables” question, so instead we stopped for lunch and for something at a pet store that Mom said I’d need in Death Valley. I have no idea what that means. They had lunch at a yummy Hawaiian food place but I had to stay in the LHOW. Then we...
