Vancouver WA - 2023

-

We made the drive from Mountain Home, ID  to Vancouver WA via a stop at our favorite winery.


Once we got to Washington, we made a day trip to Multnomah Falls and hiked to the top with Eric, Jessica and the pups.

We ate a really yummy dinner at Kyoto.


They had a cotton candy making machine which was pretty cool.



I snapped a picture of Mount Hood.



The first week we were in Washington, I started a new project in the RV. I love the way they turned out.

Here are what our window boxes looked like. We removed the sides and kept the valances.

The window boxes on the drive and passenger seats were covered with a dark gray vinyl so I recovered them as well since I had some material left.


Drivers side window


Passenger side window


This is how many staples each window had that I had to pull out to get all the old material off.


The highlight of our trip to Washington was a side trip to Seattle to see George Strait, Chris Stapleton and Little Big Town at Lumen Field. It was an amazing concert! Both Little Big Town and Chris Stapleton played for just over an hour and George Strait came on around 9pm and played 2-1/2 hours including 6 songs in an encore. I am so grateful the rain held off because it was 54 degrees by the end of the show.







We stayed at a Harvest Host, LeMay America's Car Museum in Tacoma.
Check out some of the cool cars....









Back in Vancouver area, we went to Lucia Falls and recreated a picture we took 2 years ago.



Our last night in Washington, we went to a Murder Mystery Dinner. We enjoyed it and actually had a couple of the actors at our table. It was also Eric's birthday.

Mountain Home, Idaho

We left South Dakota on Wednesday, August 31; we got everything we needed to get done. We had two major things to get done in our 2 weeks, the first was to get Ernie's eyes fixed YAG Capsulotomy on both eyes and set up our domicile. We would definitely recommend Black Hills Regional Eye Institute if you are in Rapid City and need laser surgery. Our drive to Mountain Home, Idaho was uneventful, and we stayed in a couple of different RV parks in Wyoming. We arrived in Mountain Home about 2:30 pm and our first activity was to go to Boise to see the hot air balloons glow at night at the Spirit of Boise event. We all got some yummy food at the food trucks and hung out until the balloons were ready to glow. Saturday was a day for many adventures. First, Shoshone Ice Caves in Shoshone Idaho. The cave is considered a lava tube and is 1,700 feet long. We went in the cave about 100 feet below the surface. The temperature in the cave is an average between 22- and 28-degrees year-round. We all

  Sunday, we left Fredricksburg and drove to San Antonio. We stayed on  JB SA (Joint Base  San Antonio ) Fort Sam Houston. When we were making reservations for this leg of the trip, we tried to get into Lackland AFB but they were full. We love the Riverwalk area, we should have made this stay a little longer so we could enjoy it during the day and the night time. Since we had time, we decided to check out San Antonio Missions National Historic Site. Unfortunately 5pm snuck up really fast so we didn't get to see the 3rd site. Our plan was to see the Alamo when we walked the Riverwalk on Monday. Check out this tree, at some point it bent over and it appears the limbs have rooted. Pictures from Mission San Jose Pictures from Mission Concepcion The Church It was a perfect night to sit outside and watch Sunday night football. What a game it turned out to be, Mason Crosby kicked a field goal in the last few seconds.  Monday we headed out to walk the Riverwalk. We went early so there wasn

We were able to get quite a few sites in while in Mountain Home visiting family. Our first adventure was to Malad Gorge State Park and Hagerman Fossil Beds National Monument.  Malad Gorge - Devil's Wash Bowl Malad Gorge downstream This bridge on I 84 eastbound is where a truck pulling a travel trailer went over the side of the bridge, click on the link to see the article.  Couple goes over bridge Waterfall downstream       Family Echo sporting his new shades. Cousins Waterfall at Woody's Cove A little bit about Hagerman Fossil Beds National Monument. The visitor center has casts of the fossils that were found but you can't actually get to the fossil bed. The bed contained the largest concentration of Hagerman Horse fossils in North America. It is considered a national monument because it protects the world's richest known fossil deposits from the late Pilocene epoch, about 3 to 4 million years ago. Our 2nd adventure was to Massacre Rocks State Park, Register Rock and Ci
