We started our day by lifting weights at the campground’s gym. Every campground is different and offers different amenities. It felt good to do some strength training so we will probably get some exercise bands so we can work out more consistently at the camper.
We explored the area today. We started in Aberdeen, WA which was touted as a hotspot by Good Sam. Well, unless you are a Nirvana and Kurt Cobain fan, we don’t recommend going out of your way to visit Aberdeen. We did find some art on the streets which was interesting.
Next we went to Greys Harbor National Wildlife Refuge and walked the Sand Piper Trail boardwalk.
We ended our day with happy hour at 8th Street Ale House in Hoquiam, WA. We have noticed that this part of the country is very dog friendly and we enjoyed watching the parade of dogs through the bar to the patio where dogs are allowed.

We stayed at camper all day and just relaxed. We walked boys around the campground and looked at some of the annual sites. Some of the sites had the bluest hydrangeas I have ever seen. We also picked up an Amazon order. We have been lucky that the Amazon locker is right across the street from the campground.

Daniel helped an older couple try to get their RV running. They had just pulled in, disconnected their towed vehicle in preparation for backing into their site, and their RV wouldn’t restart. I asked Daniel if he would offer help since he is so mechanically inclined. He’s not sure what got it running again but it started after some tinkering and a few more tries. I love how kindhearted Daniel is.
We drove to Olympia, WA which is the capital of Washington. We went to the farmers market which was a happening place with lots of people and live music.
Next we walked around downtown with the boys. They are doing well with their Gentle Leader harnesses although people think they are muzzles. Marcel still tries to get his off but we’re hopeful that he’ll get the hang of it like Peter has.

We decided to have a really lazy day. We stayed at the camper most of day watching Netflix. Full-time traveling can be exhausting.

We went to Aberdeen, WA to return some Amazon items. We stopped at what we thought was a pet cemetery to walk the boys but we only saw human graves. The view was stunning though.
We have also passed by some cool treehouses. Daniel thinks a TV show about building treehouses had some episodes in the area. We saw a two story treehouse on our drive into Elma with the camper but we couldn’t remember where it was when we went looking for it.
We ended our day with lifting weights in the campground gym, a game of pool (Daniel won), and an awesome dinner of steamed veggies and lentils.

We stayed at camper and did laundry. Daniel installed a timer and button on our bathroom fan.
To do laundry, we use a portable washer which works really well to clean our clothes. I think it does a better job than regular residential washers. The clothes come out of the spinner pretty well wrung out.
To dry the clothes, we either hang them on a clothes line we have strung over our bed or we use a portable clothes dryer. It produces heat so we set it up outside, although on a cold day it would be nice inside to warm up your camper. I’ve noticed that it dries quicker when it’s warm outside.
