Our tour of Whidbey Island was fantastic, but it was time to move along. We took a the Coupeville – Port Townsend Ferry off the middle of Whidbey Island, placing us for a tour of the Olympic Peninsula and nicely skipping over Seattle. Putting the Airstream on a ferry was both exciting and terrifying. An…
Much to my surprise, we have had quite a few people ask us our opinion of the Pacific Northwest (PNW). I think for some people, the PNW is like a mystical dreamland. Plenty of recreation opportunities, beautiful green landcapes, the rolling ocean and coast. It does sound pretty dreamy, right?. These people were thinking of…

We’ve been excited to visit Mt. Rainier National Park as such an iconic volcano definitely needed a wander. Unfortunately, the perfect storm of off-season, incomplete planning, and, well, RAIN, landed us in a possibly less than ideal situation. When We Visited: September 23-24, 2014 Ages of Kids: 9, 7, 4 Where We Stayed: Ohanapecosh Campground…
We live in Grants Pass, OR in the winter & Island Park, ID in the summer. We are fellow Airstreamers & have been following your posts with delight. You’re teaching us useful things. If you get down this way on your way to CA & AZ perhaps we can meet. You’d have lots to teach us.

Dear Rachel, You are turning in to quite the young lady! I’m so proud of you. As the oldest there’s kind of a lot of responsibility, but you shoulder it well. You are good to your brother and sister and are great at organizing play and having fun! Like your brother, you also LOVE to…
I completely agree with all your points. We spent a few months in Washington & Oregon a few years ago, and while it was wonderful, the constant rain, drizzle and clouds got to me after awhile. I really need sun, and after 4 days in a row of rain or clouds I find myself feeling sad and unmotivated. I think it’s a greatl area to visit, but could never live there year round.
yes! We need one more summer up the coast to make up for our drizzy experience, but then I think I could call it done. 🙂
Come to MN! It is green here, we have big lakes and while it does rain, it doesn’t rain for days at a time. That said, don’t come until June. If you come before June you may get stuck in a snow storm!
I think next summer will be quite the test run! I can’t wait!
