Monday - Labor Day - Olympia, WA

The first few times we drove past this bronze art, we hardly noticed it. The couple is life-size and fits right in with the wharf. It’s only when you realize what you’re seeing that you appreciate what the artist accomplished.

The campground is getting quieter this p.m. as folks end their Labor Day outing and head for home. Sure glad we’re not going to be on the roads today. I hear that the I-5 is a veritable parking lot in both directions. Nice to relax, take a nap, and enjoy the last few days of summer. I know the locals would like some rain – it is reported to be the longest drought on record – but as tourist, it’s nice to have sunshine and balmy temperatures.

I head out tomorrow at oh-dark-thirty (that’s 6 a.m. for the rest of you) so I can be at the service center at 7:00 a.m. Since I’m not sure where I’m going, so I’ll leave a little extra time to find it. It’s a small town (Chehalis) so I doubt that I’ll get too lost. Besides, I have Miss Priss to help me find way. For those of you who haven’t met Miss Priss, she’s our GPS Navigator. Usually she’s pretty good, but there was the time we were looking for a US Post Office and she sent us to a horse pasture next to a housing development. She spent some time in the closet over that one! If you’ve seen the movie, RV, you’ll know how we talk to Miss Priss (Robin Williams named theirs, Lola).

Margaret and Suki-cat are going to spend the night with Connie and Harold so I can get an early start. Not sure what I’ll do tomorrow while in Chehalis, but I’m sure something will turn up. Until then…
