Now that’s a big boat!!!!! We’ve spent the last week at Reeder Beach RV Park on Sauvie Island located 10 miles outside of Portland, Oregon. It is one of the largest river islands in the country, surrounded by the Willamette and Columbia Rivers. As we drove in and as we’ve explored over the week, we…

August 21, 2021 – Hoh Rainforest, Rialto Beach and La Push, Washington
Hoh, Hoh, Hoh!!!! Like Christmas in August!!! This may have been my favorite day in Washington state! The weather has broken and it is nice and cool here in the Pacific Northwest. After getting my fangirl on yesterday in Forks, we headed to the Hoh Rainforest in Olympic National Park this morning. I had heard…
August 20, 2021 – Forks, Washington, The Twilight Tour!
Shiny vampires!!!!!! Today we drove to Forks, Washington. I told the hubs that if we were in Seattle, I had to go visit Forks – only 3 and half hours away. In case you didn’t know, the Twilight movies were set in Forks, Washington, the most rainy city in the United States. A little background…when…
August 11, 2021 – Yarn Excursion of the Pacific Northwest
If it’s not Berrocco don’t fix it!!!! (Hahaha! Yarn humor – I LOVE it!) I am working on a cool knitting pattern right now – this is one I mentioned in my earlier post from So Much Yarn. The pattern is called Concentric and makes a “necklace” of yarn. I think it’ll make a nice accessory….

After checking the weather which, by the way, has been absolutely beautiful since we’ve been here, we decided…
August 5, 2021 – The Center for Wooden Boats
As the son of a son of a sailor!!!! We took a little excursion this afternoon to Seattle (on the subway again) to The Center for Wooden Boats. The hubs has always been interested in boats and sailing and I thought this is something he would definitely enjoy. (Ed. Note – Yep!!!) We actually had…
August 2, 2021 – Pike Place Market, Space Needle, and Chihuly Glass and Garden
There’s too much to do!!!!!! I tell you – we have been so busy going and seeing that I haven’t had a minute to write a post! After driving downtown Seattle once, we’ve decided the best way to go is to ride the “lite rail” or subway (even though most of it is above ground😊)….
July 29, 2021 – Woodland Park Zoo, The Tea Cozy, and the Fremont Troll!
It’s not fair they have one of EVERYTHING!!!!! There is soooooo much to see in this city!! The hubs and I have spent a lot of time figuring out when we’re going where and the best days to go 😁. Today we started at the Woodland Park Zoo. I haven’t been to a zoo for…
