They should really call this the Hoh "sun forest." Perfect Spring day, great campsite on the Hoh River and all the sun we could need for a few days of solar power. #Airstream #liveriveted #myrivetedlife #hohlybeautiful

Morning session throwing rocks into the river and Washington state collage with a cut up Olympic National Park brochure and a glue stick at the picnic table while the baby sleeps. Then a little lunch and a short walk to the Hall of Mosses right from the campground. Now back at camp for a nap under a tree and an afternoon campfire (Wynne's asleep before it gets dark). I think it's safe to say we're definitely hitting our stride. #olympicnationalpark #hallofmosses #pnw #fulltimefamilies

Just one more stop by the visitor center to take care of some unfinished business before leaving. #juniorranger #badgenumberfive #nationalparks #olympicnationalpark #Airstream #airstreamwithkids #liveriveted

Well, here we are in Port Townsend, WA near the northernmost end of the very same Highway 101 that passes just a few miles from our house back in Northern CA, having come about 1000 miles by road. But now, we have a pretty big announcement to make! In the next few days... (wait for it)... we'll be continuing this epic trip... (wait for it)... BY BOAT! Wait, no, not *this* boat. I see now how that could have been misleading. 😉 The boat in the picture is "Airship" owned by @lauradomela and Kevin from http://riveted-blog.com, and while they are in fact taking a little time away from their Airstream to sail Airship up the Inside Passage to Alaska, all I meant is that we made our B.C. Ferry reservations to bring our trailer across to Vancouver Island next week. Oh, and we get to hang out with them for a couple days while they're in the harbor and we're in the adjacent RV park! #nordictug #mtbaker #btwthisisfromourcampsite

Sometimes our morning walks around a campground are forgettable. Then there are other times... #porttownsend #pnw #fulltimefamilies

View of the RV park (we're on that front row in the middle) from a morning sail on Airship out around Fort Worden with the Olympic Range behind.

That white thing just above our hood is 10,781 ft Mt. Baker in the northern Cascades with Whidbey Island in the foreground. #porttownsend #pnw #mtbaker #Airstream #liveriveted #myrivetedlife

Eh, I figure this should pretty much just work itself out, right? #roadschool #parenting101 #arealpageturner #toddlerlife

It's official. Pizza night now means I have to make three separate pies: one for us, one for Wynne and one for Mae. #airstreamkitchen #airstreamwithkids #pizza #solidfood #babylife

Another dreary day in the Pacific Northwest. BTW, Ann's getting pretty good at explaining the various things mounted on the batwing (omni and directional wifi/cell antennas that can be connected to the JetPack, the Wilson booster cradle or the Pepwave Surf-on-the-Go) to the older guys who slowly walk by the trailer looking at the roof. #Airstream #liveriveted #airstreamwithkids #pnw

What can I say? I like a challenge. Rear stabilizers up on 4 blocks, steps and spare tire practically touching the ground, front jack about 2" extended and resting on a 2x4, but the site is worth it! #doingmylevelbest #doesthisanglemakemybuttlookbig #excusemewhileidoublecheckthewheelchocks

We'd switched the schedule around a little last week so we'd be closer to Port Angeles the night before our ferry reservation to Victoria (tomorrow!). That gave us a full day at Heart O' the Hills campground at the base of the Hurricane Ridge Road. We wound up the road this morning for a nice clear view of the Olympics (Mt. Olympus is somewhere over Mae's shoulder). #hurricaneridge #mtolympus #olympicnationalpark #olympicrange #insertcommentsaboutmybeardandbeanielookhere #polerstuff #advodnaxmascard

While there wasn't a ton of snow at the top of Hurricane Ridge, we made it work. Wynne kept saying "I wanna build a snow man," to which we would respond in song "🎶Do you want to build a snowwww-maaaan?🎶" Never got old. #Frozen #Olaf #childhoodunplugged #hurricaneridge #olympicnationalpark
