OK, We've Had Enough.....

I took this photo last year when
we were here - see the sunshine!
The Ladybugs are still here and make
me smile every day when we walk by.

....rain, fog, overcast skies, and 60 degree temperatures.  We are ready to move on.  We decided today that we would forfeit a couple of nights and leave early, so the plan is to take off Tuesday morning and head due east.  We really are fair weather RVers. 

Tomorrow we will make groceries, do laundry, and clean house in readiness for the next leg of our journey.  We really are ready to move on and I think we would be even if the weather had been a little more cooperative.  Two weeks is too long in one place (except when we "winter") and we will think twice about planning that again - anywhere.  We have 14 days from when we leave until we are due in Denver to visit a good friend from our Navy days (and the best man at our wedding ceremony - 45.5 years ago) and there's lots of territory to see and explore between here and there! In a few days you'll probably find us whining about the heat again - but not for a few days!  

Roger has decided that he doesn't want to drive I-5 around Seattle before going east, so we will point the truck due east from the island on WA20 (The Cascade Highway).  We've been told that even though it is two lanes and crosses the mountains that it isn't a bad drive for an RV.  Now, let's hope this guy wasn't joshing us.  He did have a large motor home and says he takes this route often because it is so beautiful.  So, off we go!  

We probably won't check in with you again until we reach our next destination on Tuesday - Winthrop, Washington just east of the Cascade range.    Until then......
