Good days.

It has been to long! I will probably ending up posting a lot when we settle in Arizona for the holidays. It's hard to remember to update and I really want to have this for our own memories, at least! I blogged quite a bit during our adoption and that first year and it's fun to read it over, not to mention the pictures!

So, we are just outside Bend, Or. right now. This wasn't planned, in fact, the plan was to leave Pacific City tomorrow and drive to Seaside/Astoria for 3 weeks. But, the weather was driving us nuts and we wanted to find some sun. We'd heard good things about this park and we haven't been disappointed! We got here on the 11th and are still blown away by the massive size of our site. We met a couple of families from a Facebook group we're on and P was over the moon having kids to play with.

One thing we hadn't thought about was that we are in the high desert. Temps have been mid 70's during the day, but it drops to the upper 30's at night.  Brr! But we can handle it!

We have done so much in the past 7 weeks and I will admit that I'm surprised at how well we've adjusted to this life. We haven't decided how long we'll do this for, but it won't surprise me if we find ourselves still traveling in 3 years. It's fun! We are still adjusting and someone made a good point today: the day you start living like you're home and not on vacation everything becomes easier! So true!

In light of that, tomorrow will probably be a day to hang out at home and relax. We haven't had many days like that!

One day I'll also sit down at the computer and sort out all these pictures. For now, here are some from the last week or so.

Happy trails!

Monthiversary!

I'm going to try and make it a point to update more often. We've made so many memories over the past month and I want to not only share them, but also have them for our own sake!

It is hard to update from the phone, yet pictures are on the phone and not the, rarely used, laptop. That's my excuse and in sticking to it!

I really thought I'd sort of hate this life. But, gladly, I don't! I thought the rig would feel small, but, maybe because our backyard is acres of forest, miles of beaches and limitless sky, it just hasn't felt small.

We have about 6 weeks before we start heading back to Arizona and I'm not ready! Have to remind myself that it's just a short break.

I still need to edit our whale watching video. I'll do that at our next stop because I'll have better wifi. We won't have Internet except at the clubhouse, but I'm sorry of looking forward to that. I've been on Facebook too much and the kiddo is playing too many games. But, we're still doing a lot outside. We really like newport, it's a fun town and there's a lot to do that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

Not sure how these pictures will come out here, but I'll try!

Happy adventuring!

Lucky 13

Internet and phone access has been our biggest adjustment,  hence the lack of posting! But, today is day 13 of our adventure and it had flown by! A five day drive want so great, but we've been settled here in Pacific city, or, for a week today. We are in a group of parks called Thousand Trails. We love it so much that we upgraded our membership.  We can stay here for 3 weeks and then move right away to another.  Here on the Oregon Coast we are within a few hours drive from several parks.  Next Friday we head to Newport, or, and we're excited to see how that park is!

We are learning quickly how to enjoy nature ... and rain!  It's chilly, but we stay pretty active exploring the little towns and the beaches.  The other day we went to Tillamook and spent some time at the pioneer museum.

Every morning I think of so many things to blog about, but once I hit service I forget!  For now, a few pictures! (Forgot, new phone, so only one picture!)

Live life happy,
The G's
