Pike Place Market . ✹ We didn’t get everything in that we wanted to on our first day in Seattle.

Pike Place Market . ✹ We didn’t get everything in that we wanted to on our first day in Seattle. So we had to head back in a second time. ✹ The only problem was, we had to check out of our campground and figure out what to do with Bertie (our travel trailer) for the day. ✹ After an hour of driving around...we finally found a huge community college parking lot, near the metro bus, with FREE parking! We, unfortunately, missed the sign stating that, the first time we were in the lot an hour earlier 🤦🏻‍♀️. ✹ We decided to take the metro bus into the city and it was awesome. I’m always nervous about doing things I’ve never done before. But this was great. It dropped us off right at Pike Place and picked us up when we were ready to leave. We didn’t have to find parking for our huge truck and didn’t have to fight crowds of people to get a spot. ✹ It was really cool to finally witness the Pike Place fish throwing in person and see all the hype of the market too. But to be honest, it was insanely crowded and we only stayed for about 30 minutes. But I got my 🤓. ✹

Y’all this is my heartbeat right here. Backpacking in the mountains with amazing views and my favorite people. . I’m pretty sure this looks far more like what most people thought we meant when we said we were going to be RVing full time. Right?! . Back in August we set out on our first family backpacking trip in the Mt. Hood National forest. After ALOT of prep work and research and gear purchasing, we finally were ready to get out there! . My mom heart could not be more stoked that my kids are wanting to do this kind of thing as they are getting older, and that all those hikes that we powered through when they were younger and whiny are finally paying off . . Tent camping is still the worst, for anyone that is wondering , but I loved being out in the wilderness and waking up in the mountains with the the sun and the birds, and getting to experience something new. . What about you? Does this sound like torture to you or an awesome way to adventure? .
