Grand Coulee
We camped this past weekend near Grand Coulee Dam in Washington. It’s about 2.5 hours from here. We had stopped there on our way home from Seattle earlier this summer, and learned about a laser light show that is projected against the wall of the dam on summer nights (through September), so we decided that would be a fun place…

Camping in the Mountains
We had a very relaxing weekend camping close to home this time. It was a Forest Service campground, so no hookups, but we didn’t mind. The kids even decided to put up their tent and sleep in it. The only down side was that there is a Stage 2 burn ban on right now, which means that we couldn’t have…

Going Camping
After a cold and rainy Memorial Day it is turning into a lovely weekend, so we plan to take the trailer out to the state park for a couple of nights. We’ll go tonight, and Lyle will come back into town for work tomorrow. There is no cell phone service or internet out there, but I plan to take my…

RVin’
We bought a travel trailer last year, and we are enjoying it so much as we travel on weekends to homeschool conventions. My husband and I think we would love to live on the road, at least for awhile. But that doesn’t seem to be a practical scenario with my husband’s job, so we are glad to have the opportunity…

I *still* love camping!
When I was a little girl, we mostly lived out in the country. So we never went camping. No need to, really. However, Lyle was a city boy and among his best memories growing up are the family camping trips. He taught me how to camp after we got married, and I’ve always loved it. I think mostly because I…

I Love Camping!
On Thursday Lyle called to ask if I wanted to go camping that night and Friday night. Of course I did! We decided we could take the camper up to the state park that night and spend the night, then he would go to work on Friday. He thought I could stay out there with the kids on Friday, but…

Montana Trip
We took our new RV to Kalispell, Montana to the Montana homeschool convention this past weekend. That was fun! Since it was the holiday weekend we stayed over an extra day and went to Glacier National Park. We were disappointed that the pass on the Going-to-the-Sun Road was still closed, so we couldn’t go all the way over it. We…

Camping
Camping was great… 48 hours is just too short. We didn’t get to spend as much time with “just us” as we usually do. We actually spent significant portions of our time visiting with 3 other families. We aren’t by nature real outgoing, so I think that was good for us. We met up with some casual acquaintances who just…
