Short Journey and new location

We left our peaceful site at Whispering Pines around 10 a.m. On the journey up I-90, we were presented with the view of Mt. Rainier in the distance. The drive over the Snoqualmie Pass was spectacular.

We pulled in to our new park, Blue Sky RV (www.blueskypreston.com) around 11 a.m. Wow! We really like these short jaunts. The area is beautiful with tall pines everywhere. We knew that we would be dry camping Friday night as our site would be occupied until Saturday. This was not going to be a problem. We would be all settled in to our site before Melissa arrived. Here is a picture of what our kitchen looked out on. We were hoping that deer might make an appearance but it was not to be.

We moved in to our site on Saturday and discovered that our satellite aimed at the very tops of the pine trees surrounding the park. Darn! I love beautiful pines but when they interfere with my internet access, it drives me crazy. I was needing the internet to make reservations for our kayaking trip and getting addresses for other things. This usually is not a problem as most parks have Wifi as a back-up. We decided to go get an air card to see how that would work for us. At least, Melissa and I will have internet access for the week.

Melissa was driven to us by some friends of hers who live in the Seattle area. Vanessa and Davis wanted to pick Melissa up at the airport, treat her to lunch, a girls afternoon with Vanessa that included a massage, AND drive her to us. What terrific friends she has. When Melissa got out of the car, she had a beautiful bouquet of flowers that she had picked up at Pikes Marketplace (now that was touching). We were introduced to Vanessa and Davis and thanked them profusely for bringing us our daughter. Of course, we gave them a tour of our home. We were just so happy to see Melissa.
