We got off a piddling subsequently than expected yesterday, too therefore nosotros didn't attain the RV commons until some 2:00 p.m. We drove through Tillamook on our way to Rockaway Beach, a house we've stayed many times. One knows 1 has reached Tillamook when the quilt blocks start coming into view. I've written close the Tillamook County Quilt Barn Trail before. You tin lav come across to a greater extent than close it at this onetime weblog post. The trail isn't express to barns. Anybody amongst a wall large plenty joins in, too everywhere you lot facial expression inwards Tillamook, you lot come across quilt blocks. I snapped a few pictures every bit nosotros drove through town.
There was a alter inwards the intersection every bit nosotros turned due north toward Rockaway Beach. This construction seemed dissimilar to me, too I don't recollect I'd seen this quilt block before.
Just some other one-half hr or therefore north, too nosotros were laid upwardly at the RV park. It's a unique spot because it's correct adjacent to the breakwater on the beach.
Looking north, nosotros saw this.
Those are the iconic "Twin Rocks" of Rockaway.
There is a natural twain through the 1 on the left. The prototype below was taken on a dissimilar trip too further due north along the beach.
Looking due south from our spot, nosotros could come across this.
Looking direct ahead, this was the stance from our living room windows.
Of course, I'd hold upwardly remiss if I didn't tell you lot all the ways nosotros could teach out this weekend. You mightiness desire to proceed your waders on.
And delight heed your manners.
The catio was already inwards house when nosotros permit the kitties out of the bedroom. They ran all some exploring. They've been inwards the novel RV many times, exactly never on a trip before. Sadie checked out the catio. I similar this movie of her. You tin lav come across how potent too sinewy she is. That's how she's therefore easily able to escape her harness.
They had H2O along the way, exactly they were hungry for their treats when nosotros arrived.
While they enjoyed their piddling snack, Mike too I kicked dorsum too relaxed.
The kitties were nervous all afternoon too a skilful business office of concluding night. Smitty was willing to remain out too hold upwardly sociable.
But he had to proceed sentinel for mans too woofies. Mans WITH woofies...those are the worst form of mans.
Sadie stayed hidden inwards the chamber most of the time. When I brought out the quilts, Smitty was able to relax a little. He kickoff tested this one...
But he was to a greater extent than relaxed on this one.
It was every bit smoky hither inwards Rockaway every bit it was dorsum inwards Portland, unfortunately. As the Sun set, it turned into a blood-red orb.
Originally, nosotros idea nosotros mightiness teach out for Mexican nutrient concluding night, exactly too then decided to swallow in. We had our kickoff repast together inwards the novel RV...marinated too smoked New York steaks too baked white patato amongst fixings on the side.
It was fairly warm yesterday, exactly turned cooler overnight. We ran our "fireplace" inwards the morning. As I've mentioned before, I recollect these RV fireplaces are form of silly, exactly it did brand a overnice warm house inwards the morning. Smitty had some skilful lap time. If you lot missed my post where nosotros toured the novel RV, you lot tin lav uncovering pictures of the interior correct here.
Both kitties are distressed that at that topographic point are no "cubbies" for them inwards the novel RV. Smitty idea if he reached upwardly too tried climbing upwardly enough, 1 mightiness materialize. But no dice.
For breakfast, I tried out the novel oven amongst this lemon Dutch baby. So good.
We decided nosotros needed to teach on a piddling shopping trip today. For 1 thing, our java cups won't travel amongst these chairs that receive got loving cup holders. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 piddling scary, no?
So, nosotros planned an outing to the local division store. There were a few other things nosotros need, including a handbasket to purpose for a kitty toy box. In the onetime RV, their toys were stowed away inwards a cupboard. We don't receive got a rattling skilful house for them here, too therefore they're stashed inwards a shoebox behind the table. It looks a piddling tacky, too therefore we're going to teach a piddling handbasket for them. The kitties nevertheless managed to drag out a few of them concluding night.
Also today, we'll selection upwardly some oysters too clams for our traditional dinner of Oysters Rockaway too Linguine alle Vongole (linguine amongst clams). I'll tell to a greater extent than close that inwards my adjacent post...which mightiness hold upwardly tomorrow, or it mightiness not, depending on how the twenty-four hours goes. For instantly I'm signing off. Time to teach shopping.
