We love our new campground! Big trees, lush vegetation, quiet… it’s perfect. It even rained last night – the quiet type of rain with sprinkles and occasional big drops falling off a tree. I’ve missed the drama-free northern rains. Storms in the southern- and middle-states were mostly over-the-top dramatic with high winds and tornadoes.

We ventured out to explore the area. We had passed by several cute towns on our way to the campground so we wanted to check them out. First stop was Snoqualmie Falls. It’s a big, beautiful water fall which has been used for hydroelectric power for over 100 years. We enjoyed views from the top and then hiked down to the river past the tubes for the power plant.
Next we went to two small towns – one right on the river and the other bordered by railroad tracks with old engines and other equipment on display.
One thing we have noticed about the area is how big the roses are. We found a rose “bush” that was at least 9 feet tall.

We are traveling north to stay at a campground near Mount Vernon for two weeks. We have done a lot of traveling lately so we are excited to stay in one spot for a while. Our campsite is gorgeous – we angled the camper so we are looking toward the back at the forest.
We had Chocolate Dip tonight with apples we got yesterday. I got a Lemonade apple and Daniel got an Opal Sweet apple. Both are supposed to taste like lemon. We found they had a very mild taste but they did have a sweet lemony flavor.

We hung out at our camper this morning and noticed a lot of people gawking at our campsite. Sometimes if we have enough space we like to park the camper so we have more privacy. Daniel put himself through medical school by driving a semi truck so he is really good at maneuvering the camper into just about any spot. I guess people can’t figure out how we got the camper into the position it’s in.
These beautiful flowers are all over!

Happy Fourth of July!! It’s also our wedding anniversary and Peter’s birthday/gotcha day! Peter was adopted in 2016 as a young adult so he is at least 9 -10 years old.
Today is a perfect 76°F, sunny (but our campsite is in the shade) and uber relaxing. We cooked food together and took the boys for a walk.
We ended the night with fireworks. We drove to Mount Vernon and there were so many big fireworks it was hard to know where to look.
