11-6 to 11-9, 2008 Ridgecrest, CA

It's about time we visited with Ma! We took her to lunch to celebrate her belated birthday and had a great time visiting. Sorry we didn't have much time, but needed to be in Tucson to take care of our truck and home. Glad we were able to help her out with some herbs to get her healthy. Love you, Ma!

10-25 to 11-5, 2008 Redding, CA

Hi everyone,
I know, I know, it's been a while and I'm sorry to keep you waiting. We've been very busy visiting with family lately so I'll have to backtrack a little to get you caught up:

We were sad to say goodbye to the Oregon coast, but we knew we had to move on. Our next stop was Redding, CA were we stayed at the Bear Mountain RV Park so we could visit with our grandson, Sebastian. We toured Turtle Bay, where they had a fabulous display on geckos! Sebastian showed us how smart he was by naming the animals we would see along the way and demonstrating the various gadgets (as you can see from the photos below). Then came Halloween where he was appropriately dressed as a monkey and he loved acting out the part! Then we celebrated his birthday along with his cousin. Lana made a wonderful bee cake and Sebastian opened tons of cool presents, especially the books that grandpa and grandma gave him (tee hee). We enjoyed visiting with Jake, Lana and Sebastian, but had to move on to visit with Brad's mom. Enjoy the photos (click on the picture and you'll be taken to the website where you can see the photos displayed in a slideshow format).

10-22 to 10-25, 2008 Brookings, OR

We decided to stop about halfway before visiting with family at the last stop along the Oregon coast (we can't get enough of it!) in Brookings, OR. We stayed at Harris Beach State park, right on the beach. We hated to leave, so we stayed for 3 days! Enjoy the pictures.

10-8 to 10-22, 2008 Newport, OR

Hello,
Here is a look at our favorite place so far...the Oregon coast! We stayed at a place called Whaler's Rest RV Resort. We absolutely loved it here and was very sad to leave. While we were here, we visited with Stacey's cousins as well as Brad's son. We loved every aspec, from the lighthouses, to the beaches, to the quaint little village nestled near the harbor. Although our time was brief this summer, we look forward to a much longer stay next summer as we REALLY enjoyed it here. Enjoy the pictures.

9-26 to 10-8, 2008 Ocean Shores, WA

More on the WA beaches,
We are now at the Western Horizon Resorts, Ocean Shores RV Resort in Ocean Shores, WA. We stayed here for 2 weeks of rain, waves and beautiful greenery at the park. It's so peaceful and secluded here. I am actually wearing sweatshirts (something that I didn't get a chance to do much of in AZ)! Next we visit with family in Oregon. Keep watching for more updates! Enjoy the pictures.

9-19 to 9-26, 2008 Ocean Mist RV park

How is everyone?
Us, we are doing great on the coast of Washington. We stayed right on the beach (well, there was a short access trail to actually get to the water, but it was worth it) at Ocean Mist RV park in Ocean City, WA. We strolled out on the beaches and even drove the truck onto the beach as well (although Stacey freaked when the sand got a little soft so we didn't do that too much). The pictures speak for themselves! Especially the sunset!

NOTE: the landmarks let you know how to get back to the RV park after strolling the beach and are made of trash that finds its way onto the beach.

9-5 to 9-19, 2008 Tall Chief RV Fall City, WA

Hi all, with a special shout out to all my peeps at F-Dub!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Tall Chief RV Resort in Fall City, WA. We even made a couple of friends, as you can see from the photos (it helps when you can bribe them with nuts!) Rocky (yes, we named them also) even came into our house to get fed (notice Brad's feet, that's how close Rocky came to us).

Of course, we also did more geocaching (I probalby won't be putting many pictures up as that ruins the mystery for others who wish to look for the caches). We are having soooooo much fun with it! If you love mysteries, solving puzzles/riddles, and sharing with others, I highly recommend geocaching! Enjoy the photos.
