Back in the Camping Saddle!

The last time we packed up the motorhome for camping, we made about a mile before we realized that we couldn’t make it out of zipcode, let alone out of state, like we were planning. But several weeks and dollars later, we have a working motorhome, and we finally had a weekend we could get away.

So we set off for our one of our favorite spots over the mountain, Leavenworth. It was the last weekend that Icicle River RV Resort was open, and we snagged one of the few open spots. The weather forecast was good, so I have no excuses for why I was surprised when Leavenworth was warm and *packed* with tourists…like us. In fact, the only moderately-convenient RV parking lot was so filled with cars that we barely found a spot to squeeze our 31-footer into. But we did, which meant we got to walk through my favorite park at its autumn best, and eat lunch (and gelato) outside.

These are some of the views from the campground. I reveled in the autumn colors!

Our campsite didn’t have a fire pit, but there was a community one by the river. Dwayne and I had it to ourselves (because even our kids preferred to stay mostly in the camper), and it was a perfect, moonlit evening. I love romantic evenings with my husband of 19 years. We had had a tough parenting week, and I have been subbing too many days a week, so this really felt like a true getaway. Thanks, Yeti the Motorhome, for being on your feet again!

    Denise, great pictures! Appears that you had a great time.

    We winterized the camper and am looking forward to using it in the spring.
