This is a turbo-charger. This one works. The one in my truck doesn't. So, we will be in beautiful Moses Lake a week while the Chevy dealer waits for parts. I can think of worse places to break down so we are enjoying the pool and warm weather here in Moses Hole.

It is not too often we drive over Snoqualamie Pass and find that lake on top full of water. I call it Lake Cheese because I can't pronounce the name...

Kimmy and Lilly enjoy the pool!

Nikki and Lilly...hey Nikki is growing up, what the heck happened?

Lindsay and Lilly enjoying a quick movie.

Hail in Moses Lake! That provided a good time for me to catch up on school work and the girls to watch that goofy Avitar movie again.

Olympia, WA July 16th

We were able to spend a few days at Claudia's RV Park near Olympia. We stayed here in 2009 when I was stationed at Ft. Lewis. Lindsay made friends quick and they started building a Western Washington tree house.

Woodburn, Ore July 15th

Nothing like a Michelob light, a beautiful wife, great kids and a very soft chair...time for a nap in Oregon.

Mt Shasta, CA

After leaving central California, we stopped in the KOA at Mt. Shasta. The elevation was 3600 feet, the weather was clear and it was still warm, 85 degrees. We had done some sightseeing the last time we were in the Redding area, so this time we just enjoyed looking at all the cool trees, enjoying a fresh rabbit BBQ and a well deserved rest!

Los Banos, Ca

Our first stop after leaving Long Beach was at the KOA in Santa Nella, CA, near Los Banos. The weather was great; 90 degrees and windy! Lindsay used the wind to dry her hair after we played in the large pool.

Last day in Long Beach

Dad and I having a small glass of wine for our hearts!

Dinner, tastes like chicken without all the bones!

I enjoyed reading one of the many books Eisley has but I have to remember not to read in the early afternoon...I will fall asleep way too quick!

Me and my #1 Dad at their home in Long Beach. We all went over to their home for a 4th of July feast and later watched some illegal fireworks in the neighborhood. I would have taken the appropriate enforcement action but darn, I'm retired now and just had to watch the great sights.

Me, Dad and Laurie's husband, Gary.

Grandma Sandy and my Cousin, Laurie Thomas

Eisley enjoying camping!

Grandma Sandy with Eisley and they are ready for some BBQ burgers!

Eisley has enjoyed running all  over the RV park here in Seal Beach! She doesn't have this much room at home and once she is outside it is hard to keep up with her!

My Dad Sam, Grandma Sandy and Eisley get to know one another before dinner. The weather has been great here and we are looking forward to some mid-80's degree weather next week!

Visiting with Kerri, Jay and Eisley

Eisley, our granddaughter has just started walking recently and now, her parents have forever lost control. We stopped in for a visit at their home in Long Beach and they have also been stopping by the RV park at the Naval Weapons Station, Seal Beach were we are currently parked. I was able to find a couple of good used bikes for Kelly and I and we have enjoyed riding near the beach here and along the tideflats.

June 25th and Sea World

Since we were in San Diego, we took advantage of the Busch Garden's Salute to Hero's program and enjoyed free admission to Sea World. The girls had never been here before and the shows/exhibits were something they hadn't experienced in the past. Even though the weather was mid 70's, Nikki and Lindsay did get sunburned (a little).
