Vancouver to Silverdale WA

We have been on the road for four days now and there have been many things that  we have had to adapt to while touring with an eight month boy.  Around camp we are on a man to man defense system.  One of us is on Leo guard, while the other is juggling the tent and dinner.  Leo is on the verge of crawling but has already figured out how to peel back the blanket to get to the dirt buffet.  This kid has minimal interest in the bright flashy toys we brought him and would rather play with rocks, sticks, leaves, or cigarette butts- whatever he can get his fat hands (or mouth) on.  Also while riding, Leo has not quite learned when the best time is to get hungry or when to fill his diaper.  He insists on doing this in areas that are not conducive to taking breaks.  Therefore we have been enjoying the bewildered looks of motorists who see the beauty of nature as they drive past Leo and Mary in their prime.  The tour is going well, Washington is crazy hilly it turns out, and with a trailer that means our uphill speed is normally about 3 mph.  Its been a ton of work, but the pay is amazing.  We are loving the fern forests, towering trees, foggy mornings, and coastal views.  Stories to come soon but for now you may feast on some fotos.

  3. Haha. Love the Baby On Board sign! Our grandparents would have a new reason to write us out of the wills if we did this....which is one of the many reasons it is high on our list of next adventures. ;)
    Can't wait to read the updates,
