After our rainy day at Lake Detroit we were ready to move on to what would hopefully be drier skies. We headed out of Oregon and into Washington. As we entered Washington our RV entered it’s 48th state!! Our family visited back in 2015 without our good old second home. We were able to put the last sticker on our RV state sticker chart and celebrate a pretty cool accomplishment. The kids definitely don’t appreciate how amazing it is that they have seen so much of our country. We have another amazing dinner and settled in our bunks for our last first night in a new state in our second home.
Our next stop was Mount St. Helens. The latest volcanic eruption on the west coast and the only eruption to happen on Momma’s birthday. It is the littlest connections that sometimes make things seem pretty cool.
We were able to get two Jr. Ranger badges during our visit by first stoping at the Mount St. Helens visitor center and getting the geology badge they have there. Then we headed up the mountain to the Johnston Observatory and received our Mount St. Helens badge. Both places had some nice exhibits and the kids learned a lot about Seismographs, earthquakes, rock layers, volcanoes, and how it all ties together. The views were absolutely amazing. A commented that it looked surreal, like a giant painting. We made the same comments at the Grand Canyon. After a hike around the trails and taking lots of pictures we headed back down to our campsite for dinner.
