Week In Review (Season 3 Week 21)

Posted on by Posted in RV Living, Scenery, Sightseeing .

This week was another busy week.

Dad “surprised” Elizabeth with B.Brian Preserve. You might be wondering what is this “B.Brian Preserve”. Well, I have the answer to your question, its a place with zebras, antelope, and giraffes 🦒. The place is breeding these animals to re-introduce them to Africa.

Then we slowly make our way to Glass Beach. Rumor has it you can’t keep the glass from the beach. History time children, so a bunch of people were throwing trash and glass on this beach 50 years ago. The water pulled the glass and stuff out and when it “spit” it back out it would hit the rocks and some how smooth the edges of the glass so now you can walk on it and not cut yourself.

Then we moved onto, One Log House. In my opinion, you would have to worry about mold and stuff but it was cool. It is just like a tiny house or a tiny RV with no slides.

Week In Review (Season 3 Week 20)

Posted on by Posted in RV Living, Scenery, Sightseeing .

This week was a busy week.

First, we went to Avenue of the Giants. This place was full of HUGE Redwoods trees to be exact. We even bought a Sequoia redwood to take home to plant. We even played Tarzan lol. I only know of one Redwood tree and that’s the Sequoia. Knowing me, I was probably told but I forgot lol. I gotta say, Avenue of the Giants you didn’t let us down.

Later that week we went to Trees of Mystery. This place was really cool. We took a tram up to the top deck. We could even see the ocean from that deck.

Anyway, we then continue off to Klamath Tour Thru Tree. Now this place was REALLY cool, we can’t fit the truck in there but we manage to get part of the front of it in there.

As we continue down the road we went to this “cheese place” (a cheese factory). There are so many different cheeses out there I didn’t even know about.

Then our last destination was the cemetery. From what it looked like, the people there were from like the 1800s.

Like I said “this week was REALLY busy”.

Week In Review (Season 3 Week 17)

Posted on by Posted in Campgrounds, RV Living, Scenery, Sightseeing .

We are staying at Denny Creek Campground in Washington. We had Verizon and AT&T service which is always good.

We also took the time to walk down into Franklin Falls. The hike was almost 2.5 miles round trip. There are bathrooms at the beginning of the trail so you might wanna go then because there are not any further down the trail. The trail down into the falls was not that hard but it is not wheelchair accessible. When you get close to the falls the trail turns into a narrow rock ledge.
You could get right up to the falls but we didn’t get in the water and swim. We stayed at the edge of the pool at the bottom.

Wings Over Washington was really cool. I would definitely do that again.

The Volunteer Park was cool. I liked climbing on the trees and chasing squirrels around.

The Ferris Wheel on the pier was really cool. When you get to the top, you get a nice view of Seattle, Washington. Elizabeth wanted to go on the Ferris Wheel but at the top she was a little worried about falling but she still had fun.

How-To Rebuild RV Bed

Posted on by Posted in How-To .

Today, we are taking out the jack-knife couch bed and building a new bed! We decided that Addie needed a better bed and we also wanted some more storage in that back room, so we made the best of both worlds. We used parts from the bed that went underneath the jack-knife couch for the new bed. The new bed was raised 12 inches off the floor, so we could slide totes underneath Addie’s new bed. It was a fairly quick building process for us, and we really like it! How we did it is in the video!
