Home for now!

We are loving being in Vancouver (at 99 RV park again even though we're in the overflow slot)!  They were able to squeeze us in for two nights so we could have final good-byes with family and friends before we leave for southern destinations.

Yesterday was stressful because we forgot the Honda floormats we ordered and sent to our son's house where we were supposed to pick them up at Thanksgiving (and of course forgot).  So we had that hour side trip before we could leave the Seattle area (at least we remembered before we left for Vancouver!).  We had to get to Washougal before 2:00 to pick up a Trimetric battery monitor (and just in time)!

Wonderful time with friends last night and breakfast at kids place today.  Plans for Fantastic Beasts with family and leftovers afterwards (all thanks to being able to stay another night!).

Front wheels off, handlebars and mirrors down - it worked!
Bag chairs and give-away stuff (we always seem to have) too!
Mods:  I'm calling this a mod at least!  We "installed" the floormats in the CRV and took this opportunity to see if the bikes and bike rack would fit inside.  I haven't liked them exposed to all this rain during the drives and under cover when we're stopped.  Plus taking them on and off and the bouncing on many rough roads.  We don't anticipate being able to use them until we get out of the rain so we'll leave them in the CRV, protected and hassle free until we get to areas where we can use them more regularly!  It was very tight but looks like it will work well PLUS we have one seat in the back still open and room from groceries and chairs!  Yeah!

Highlights:  Being able to stay two nights instead of one to take care of mail and financial stuff and more fun with family!

Lowlights:  More brain fades and stress forgetting the floor mats!
