on the road again...

A few months ago JJ and I decided to give up on the tent for awhile (seemed like a good idea with 3 kids under 4 in a few months...) and search for the 'perfec't trailer. So, as JJ has been working 60 hour weeks for the past 2 months we have been stashing all our extra cash in a coffee can in our kitchen. We finally had enough and found the 'perfect for us' trailer. So with the weather looking rather promising we took her for her first trip!





pretty good towing power for a 4 cylinder
dont worry, the girls car seats fit nicely in the bed of the truck

the wind was in full force

JJ was showing his creativity...

 We decided to bike the Twin Tunnels trail from Hood River to Mosier. About 9 miles round trip of hills, wind and amazing views of the Gorge.  It was enjoyable but might have been a bit much for my pregnant, out of shape body.

We stayed just south of Hood River at Toll Bridge Campground. We enjoyed a private site with lots of trees and the river rushing by in the distance. We did have the place to ourselves, besides the camp host anyways. My Sis  and her family came to join us for an afternoon. The girls enjoyed rolling in the dirt, playing hide and seek among the trees and digging in the sand. Lots of giggles

and laughter followed with full bellies and smores by the campfire.

We are looking forward to this phase of life and are excited to be able to hop in the truck on a Friday afternoon and head of for a new adventure. Both grandparents and a few friends also have RV's, so we hope to coordinate some trips soon!
