Yesterday we hooked up the RV in our home park in Ferndale, WA and hit the road for the first time this year. We have our 4 year old grand-daughter Jade with us on this little 1 week trip and since I am suffering from a nasty summer cold I'm hoping things improve soon.
We left at 8:45 in the morning and headed straight down the I-5 for Portland, Oregon. We had quite a few small rain showers as we went but it was still warm out. Jade was hooked up with her IPAD which kept her busy watching movies etc. We took the 405 around Seattle but the traffic was still very heavy. We stopped just before noon at the Maytown Rest Area which is a little south of Olympia for lunch and a potty break. After about 30 minutes we were back on the road and the sun was shining. We pulled into the Columbia River RV Park http://www.columbiariverrv.com/ around 2pm and were totally set up on a lovely cement pad site by 2:30. We took the afternoon to relax and went out for a little drive to find a Fred Meyer as Jade needed some new sandals and more underwear. Back home for a nice lite dinner of BarBQ chicken and salad and crawled into bed around 10pm.
Today started quite cloudy but within a short time the sun came out and it's is warming up nicely. We plan to do a little exploring around the city today and maybe find a park with a playground. Will hopefully get some photos while we are out and about.
