July 22 - August 2 Little Diamond TTN Preserve (Newport, WA)


July 31 - Arrived here at Little Diamond on Tuesday and claimed what we feel is the perfect campsite. Plenty of room for the tents that we will need for Erika and family this weekend. Weather is a little cool at night, so we'll see if they are hardy souls and stay outside in their tents or if they quietly creep in to claim floor space! Looking forward to a few days of swimming, fishing and campfires. As you can see, it is beautiful here.

July 21 - July 28 Horn Rapids RV Park (Richland, WA)










July 28 - After 6 days and about 10 trips to Home Depot and with the father son teamwork, the punch list was completed at Erika's house. All the baseboards and trim around the doors were cut and installed, cabinet work all trimmed, repairs made to the fence, garage door installed, etc. We'll be heading to Thousand Trails Little Diamond RV Preserve tomorrow.

July 21 - We finished our stay at Gary's & Samm's place with some pretty busy days. A bit of animal sitting last weekend when Gary and Samm went to Snohomish to visit Samm's parents. Gary and Bob milled some cedar trees into boards while they were there. Back home on Sunday and the work on the arbor began in earnest. The arbor was pretty much completed by last night due to the efforts of Gary, Ray and Samm. My job yesterday was taking pictures and playing with my anniversary present, a new computer. So all that accomplished and we departed mid-morning for a beautiful drive through the Columbia Gorge. We arrived at our destination here in Richland mid-afternoon. Lots of things to do in the week we are here.
