On the way home

It's always a little bittersweet at the end of a trip on the way home, I'm always glad to be headed back for the comforts of home, but it's a little sad to realize that what you have been planning for so long is finally heading to a close.

Last night's show was epic - definitely my favorite evening. Our seats were even better (I'm not sure how it's even possible really!) and we really enjoyed the show.

 

 

The show ran quite late - we didn't get back to the campground until after midnight, and then finished packing up a few things and sat around outside and enjoyed the wind. Went to bed about 1am and then got back up about 730am to finish putting things away and get the RV rigged for transport!

We took off towards home about 845am, so should arrive about 130pm if traffic cooperates. So far, the drive has been uneventful, so we'll just keep our fingers crossed!

 

Last day at the campground

Last nights's concert was a good one, and the weather was again fabulous! We again had some amazing seats and some entertaining people as well - there was this couple in front of us, she was TOTALLY into DMB and danced with no rhythm whatsoever. And apparently she thought it was a headbangers ball as well. Her "date" was at least 75 years old, and was obviously NOT a big DMB fan, and didn't dance at all. They were quite hilarious, I've even got a little video that I'll try to post sometime of her headbanging.

 

We then came back to our campsite and dug out the camp stove to make some s'mores, since campfires are not allowed right now. Our latest discovery was to use peanut butter cups instead of Hershey bars with the marshmallow and graham crackers. I would HIGHLY recommend it.

This morning was another beautiful one - I don't think we've had as good weather the WHOLE time we were here - the wind is practically non-existent and it is clear blue sky. Even the rain we had in Ellensburg didn't make it all the way out here. A light breeze would have made it a little nicer, but we had lots of tree shade in our campsite and just moved around as it did.

I did get a few photos of the mini with the kayaks on top, so here is one

See, I wasn't kidding! and they never took the kayaks off once, so that was even funnier

This is a picture of our campsite in the morning - the sunny area gets shaded as the day progresses.

We also watched these ladies unpack and setup the biggest tent I've ever seen, and then pack all their stuff back into their car (except the tent) before leaving. It took them at least 25 minutes to set up, and you don't leave anything? Very odd

It's about 415 pm, time to be getting dinner ready so we can take off for the show at 7 or so. And then come back and basically pack up the RV so we can leave somewhat early and head back to Portland area tomorrow morning somewhat early.
