Since we finally have Yeti home, it was so much easier to decide to take her out for another spin. This adventure was a short 24-hour trip up to Birch Bay, bringing along one of the kids I didn’t give birth to, but wish I had. Birch Bay was one of those places I have never been….YETI!, as we now say in our family.

We got a very late start but made it to the Thousand Trails RV park before it was dark. And then immediately decided to not stay there. It had full hookups, but that was it: a big parking lot, not close to the beach, no accessible trails. We moved on to the state park there and it was Just Right. No parking lot vibes at all. No sewer or water either, but we were able to snuggle up to the restrooms to fill our empty tank enough for the weekend and the power kept the trailer warm and cozy.
We were close to the beach and wooded trails, and we even explored some of it by daylight while the lasagna cooked back in the trailer. (I won’t bring up how far we explored by moonlight, as certain kids think it is Not Alright to have to do Forced Marches of Misery in the dark.) Two movies and a few bowls of popcorn later, we reminded ourselves we were camping and went to bed. I really love this Yeti life!
