Good start to the vacation



It has been a very relaxing past few days. Saturday we just lay about the house like slugs. Sunday we puttered around the house, went to the bookstore & pet shop, and lay about the house like slugs. Monday we got the trailer hitched up, did a bit of housework, and headed on out to Mount Baldy for a short camping trip. Once there we met The Boy, The Girl, and Lizard for dinner at Mt. Baldy Lodge.

The weather was beautiful, if a bit chilly at night. The place where we stayed was practically deserted; I think we saw three people the entire time we were there. This is a *very* dog-friendly campground; you're actually allowed to have the dogs off-leash as long as they are well-behaved. The girls loved being able to run around & climb on the rocks. We spent our time wandering around with the dogs, reading, knitting (for me), playing computer games (for Ralph) and laying about like slugs.


Today, of course, we're back home. Mudgie was *very* glad to see us, alternating between cuddling & scolding us for having dared to go away. Had a shower for the first time since Monday (power issues with the trailer prevented us from turning on the water heater, which is the main reason we didn't stay longer) which felt wonderful!!!! Our basic plans for the day are reading, knitting (for me), computer games (for Ralph) and laying about like slugs. (Are you seeing a trend in our vacation plans yet?)


Tomorrow we will probably head out to the Madrona Marsh. Also thinking of going to the Pirates Dinner Show either tomorrow night or Friday, which is like Medieval Times only with pirates instead of knights.

The purple flower is the one & only blossom on our wisteria, taken on Monday right before we left. It's mostly open now and is starting to have a lovely scent.
