We went to a nearby park that connects to the riverwalk and walked along the river. The park itself had a semi hidden pavilion and giant swings in a secluded little forest glade. Good setting for my daughter's

The day started out great. I got some work done on my big project, had a great trading day in oil markets, and ran some errands. And then everything went sideways. We were comparing hot dogs when one of

We are visiting my sister's family. Her kids had a Valentine's dance at their school. Our oldest was not expecting so many people and didn't want to dance. The twins had a great time though. Any event

There was a dead whale that washed up on the beach, so we tried to hike out and see it. Unfortunately there were some active military training exercises between us and the goal, so we had to go back to

We took the afternoon and had a beach day. This rock glittered in the sunlight. I didn't realize I didn't catch it. Better luck next time. This report was published via Actifit app (Android | iOS). Check

We had a skate party in the clubhouse. We got permission to move tables around however, so we shifted all furniture to the perimeter, folded up or stacked tables and chairs we didn't need, and created

Possibly the last travel day for a while, as we are month to month in the current campground. Whether we really like it enough for that remains to be seen, but we did pay for the next 30 days at least.

We have some friends with a property near here that we went to visit. We have not been there before, so we hiked around to see the different areas and explore the trails down to the river. The recent storms

Not exactly a travel day, but kind of? We had left our RV at a campground on the coast and went into Portland for the holidays, and have now returned to the RV. We got out a bit late and had to drive more

We took all the kids on a walking adventure to the nearest library. It was pretty nice out on the way there, but it was raining when we came home. It was still good for them to burn off some after Christmas

Merry Christmas, y'all!! I took the kids to the store to pick up "Santa helper" items to stick in stockings. It's a fun tradition that they really love. Then Santa will come after they go to

We loaded up the Christmas things and drove into Portland to see the cousins. Somehow one bag still got left behind. There will be some extra Christmas after, I suppose. Benefits of being in a proper city...

We have gusts of wind in the low 50s rocking the trailer and keeping me awake, so here I am with my post. Grocery shopping and cheese factory tour. All good fun. And of course the kind of signs that make

Another travel day, another new campground to explore. I even remembered to take some photos! We were also due for laundry day, which turned out to be a good thing. One of the twins left the bathroom sink

In the early afternoon, after taking out the garbage, I took the kids to the playground. Then they had a movie day at the clubhouse and in the evening we drove into Astoria to visit some friends. It was

Travel day, RV prep always involves lots of steps. New campground, walking to the indoor pool. I didn't feel like swimming but I watched the kids swim for a bit. Last time we stayed at this campground,

We went to the tree lighting in Portland. As soon as traffic started to scale up, we sought parking, instead of trying to get closer. We ended up about a quarter mile away. And now we are on the coast!

We opted to join the Friendsgiving at the local congregation here in Portland. We coordinated with my sister still, but merged our family gathering into the church gathering and it went great. Our group

After multiple issues in the last couple of months and then another check engine code this weekend, we finally replaced the battery in the truck. In and out of O'Reilly's multiple times, the steps apparently

Somehow I keep falling just short of my 5k step goal to post. The other day I went Blues dancing with my sister and still came in at only 4700. Maybe we should have parked just a little further from the
