Taking a Rest – July 26-28, 2016

It may sound weird, but we had to take a rest from having fun.  We left Eugene on Tuesday morning and drove North to Kennewick, Washington to a really nice park and did nothingfor two days.  No sightseeing.  No fancy dinners.  No shopping.  Just pure R & R.20160727_073615                                                          Campground in Kennewick, WA

It helped that there isn’t anything to see or do in Kennewick, or anywhere nearby either.  Once we got over the mountain, the views changed drastically.  We went from lush evergreens an river views to desert-type views.

And we went from low 50 degree temperatures at night and highs in the high 70’s to high 60’s at night to high 90’s to 100 degrees in the day.  Since we had experienced such cloudy, damp temperatures on the Oregon coast for so long, the warm temperatures actually felt good.

Today we arrived in Spokane, Washington to almost the same temperatures but lots more to see and do.  Just across the street from our brand new RV Park is a diner that renovated a turn of the century railroad car as its main dining area.  Besides having really good food, the interior is beautiful.004                                                      Frank’s Diner in the Train Car

We missed the opportunity to take a picture of Jim’s lunch but maybe the description will be enough.  It was called the Conductor Derailer and consisted of two extra large eggs with sausage patties, hash browns with gravy and a Belgian waffle with whipped cream and fresh strawberries.   He did manage to eat most of it too.

We are making plans tonight to try to fit in all the fun things to see and do in this beautiful city.

  1. Sometimes you just need quiet time. But keep moving.
