Other than laundry, yesterday was a do-nothing day for us and it felt good to hang out at home.  The gray, cloudy skies have put made me feel kind of down - missing my family and yearning for some silly, childish fun with the grandkids and definitely warmer, sunnier days.

We were ready to roll about 15 minutes early today and had a short drive ahead of us, only about 200 miles.  Most of the drive was on I-5 and I-405 (except for a 20-mile GPS directed detour) to Everett where we will spend the next 3 days exploring this part of the country. We checked into the Maple Grove RV Resort (about $50/night with our Good Sam discount) a nice and tidy park that is centrally located to some of the places we want to see.

The sun is out and we have seen a very welcome blue sky this entire drive, unlike the last week or so when it has been gray, cloudy, and dripping. We even got to sit around and read and have a beer once we got settled.
