Maiden voyage

Pouring rain and a couple of chilly nights made us grateful for our new toy. And Ethan was especially grateful because we surprised him by bringing along the TV so he could watch the Indy 500 Sunday morning. (Let's just say that Ryan Briscoe is not the most popular guy in our house after knocking Danica out of the race.) I know, I know, camping with a TV is shameful. But the people in the RV next to us? They had a Two-and-a-Half Men marathon Sunday night that nearly made us lose our minds. Endless repeats of annoying theme song, many many episodes, all played loudly. And OUTside the motorhome.

Note to campers: Two days in advance is not the greatest time to be looking for a campsite for Memorial Day weekend. This is how we ended up in Packwood, site of a huge Memorial Day flea market, instead of closer to Mt. St. Helens.

Note to campers considering buying a tent trailer: When you put it up for the first time, be sure to bring along a marriage counselor. Or perhaps a divorce lawyer.
