Bellingham WA - 2024

-

What an amazing week we had in Bellingham, WA. The amazing part is I got to spend the whole week with my cousin. We had a great week of catching up since it has been a couple years since I have seen her.  I'm really excited that we nailed down time to travel together next spring.

While my cousin and her husband were working, we took a drive to Mount Baker. The drive was beautiful and once up as far as we can drive, we got to see snow and even the hiking trail we walked had spots where we needed to walk in snow.

I also got to meet my new cousin. She shares a birthday with her mom and with her great grandma (my favorite Aunt Shirley). I made her a hat, a headband, and a few other things. The hat is a little big but hopefully it will fit her in the winter.

On our last day of driving, I finally got to drive the RV on the highway, yes going 65 mph, towing the Jeep. I was very comfortable behind the wheel and I think I will be driving again when we are back on the road. We arrived back to our lot in Fairhope, Alabama on Monday, October 23. Echo was glad to see all his girlfriends here in the park. This is Abby and Echo catching up on the months they were apart. We also decided it was time to upgrade our home. We said goodbye to our Winnebago Forza and said welcome to our Tiffin Allegro Red. Our Winnebago was a great coach and we have enjoyed it for 3 years. Some things we love are: The slides are wider so the interior is bigger. The decor, the coloring of the wood, marble flooring. The kitchen window brings in so much light.  It has theater seating and an additional couch so that we can have guests over and have a conversation without having to turn to the side to talk to others sitting on the same side of the coach.  We have hydraulic slid
