Daffodils, Tulips and a Lone Tree.

La Conner, Washington

April 15th - 18th

We left Elma on the morning of April 15th and made our way past Seattle. We did not stop there as time in the US was getting short. Instead we took photos from I-5 highway. We had booked a site at La Conner Thousand Trails Preserve. We managed to get a good site with an ocean view. The campground is right on the banks of the Puget Sound. A gorgeous place with so much to do. We were very lucky in that we had great weather while we there.

The second day we were there we went to the Tulip Festival and got a few photos of the tulips and daffodils. So spectacular that half of Washington State was there and we found it hard to get around with all the traffic on the roads. However we did get some good photos.

Thanks for following along. Join us next time.

Rain, Rain, Rain and a little Ice

North Oregon Coast and crossing into Washington State

Our trip continued up the Oregon Coast and our next port of call was Seaside Thousand Trails Resort. Just three days there and it rained for two days. Luckily our site had a gravel base but we still had to wade a bit from the trailer to the truck and back.

The resort was OK with a lovely indoor pool and hot tub, but no internet even though we had been told that there was. We did a couple of drives to local beaches to give Timmy his beach fix. Just a quiet stay for us.

Skunk Cabbage, I was told.

Beautiful indoor pool at the resort

Our next stop was Travell Inn Campground,  a Coast to Coast park in Elma, Washington State. The drive was still rainy and as we got to the resort the rain changed to ice. It was fine for an over night stop, but not somewhere I would like to stay for any length of time.

A rainy, icy drive

The sun came out for a short while and we had a lovely double rainbow.
