Arty here this week to tell you all about our drive up the Washington coast (Ocean City State Park and Forks). As some of you may know, this part of Washington State contains a rain forest making it one of the rainiest parts of the USA. So this part of our trip was pretty rainy and Mama couldn't take her big camera on too many walkies.
Seems Mama and Daddy don't like the idea of muddy paw prints in the wheelie house so we didn't get out for any fun walkies. We passed the time checking our email. I also checked in with Mabel to make sure Blogville was running smoothly while I was out of the office. I am such a lucky Mayor to have my best gal Mabel as my VM! She did such a great job making sure everything got done!
After about 87 hours, the rain let up enough and I thought a walkie was in order even if it was still drizzling. Daddy and Mama agreed, so we headed out for a short walk through the woods until we found my ocean!
We both agreed, rainy day walkies CAN be fun...although Mama and Daddy insisted on cleaning our pawsies and "undercarriages" every time we came back in...that wasn't so fun.
We spent a lot of time driving in the wheelie house for our ride up the Washington Coast. Usually you could find us like we are above. Well, until that time Jakey poked me and we had that little "discussion".
Mama thought maybe we should be separated for awhile after that.
Ummm...Mama, this looks like a dirt road!
When we started driving through Olympic State Park we started keeping our eyes open for Vampires and Werewolves!! You know how they love dark scary forests!
Unfortunately they must have all been at a convention in Vegas, 'cause we didn't see any of them!
We did find a very cool RV Park though! Mama said this was our utility stop, she did laundry and she and Daddy cleaned up the muddy paw prints
Wheelie House!
Before we knew it it was time to hop back in the wheelie house and head to our next destination!!
Join us next Travel Tuesday as we make our way to Dash Point State Park and the Puget Sound!
Oh I agree, rainy days and walks fit pawfectly together... specially when we can see da ocean and da beach. I wonder why your pawrents preferred Siri and not you... I bet your nose knows the direction much better than the gps-girl...
ReplyDeleteIf it weren't for the humungous trees and the driving on the right, we would have thought you were in Scotland.
ReplyDeleteToodle pip!
Gail.
PS Did you drive through Aberdeen?
When it rains here, we always look for the silver lining.....and we found it! MUD!
ReplyDeleteThe ocean is just beautiful! I've never been but I hear that it's fun to dig and get your paws all wet and sandy!
ReplyDeleteglad you missed the vampires and picked the right fork and found a beach. I had not thought about the undercarriage when you are low to the ground, all the dogs that have owned us had long legs, so just paw patrol... your trip looks wonderful from here
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun trip you are having even with the rain. We are looking at wheelie houses too so My Margret really enjoyed reading about your adventures. ~Belle Pup
ReplyDeleteOhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh what a fun fun time you had IN SPITE of the rain. At least you knew you were heading into a rain forest ahead of time so you were prepared!! MOL MOL you and Jakey had a little 'discussion'. Did he say MOM make Arty stop touching me?
ReplyDeleteMy mom would love to go to the Forks too. In search of those hunky vampires and werewolves.
Hugs madi your bfff
What a great trip!
ReplyDeleteMaybe the vampires only come out at night. Washington is so beautiful but it does rain sooo much. My son said it was like being waterboarded. LOL!
ReplyDeleteI can almost hear the heavy sighs waiting out the rain. But you guys did a great job soldiering on. Well done on a beautiful part of Washington state.
ReplyDeleteHow dare it rain on your vacations! I bet the beach at least smelt fishier

Now that was great fun going traveling with you. Sorry about all the rain, but at least you got out on walks some of the time. Glad you are having some fun. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteRain is great except for all that drying off stuff. That ocean walk looked amazing!
ReplyDeleteYours sincerely,
Margaret Thatcher
What a fun adventure yous had! We would be scared to go to Forks. Did you wear garlic around your necks?
ReplyDeleteYour Pals,
Murphy & Stanley
Misty loves the rain, Lightning not so much. But we both think we would enjoy getting to see the ocean enough to walk in the pouring rain!!! Good thing you two aren't as big as we are, or your Mom would have had tons of towels to wash at that laundry stop:)
ReplyDeleteWoos - Misty and Lightning
So you had a discussion and had to be separated? You must have been bored. Enjoy your rainy day walkies.
ReplyDeleteWe can't believe you went to where the vampires are!! You are so brave Arty!!!
ReplyDeletehugs

ReplyDeleteIt certainly sounds like a great adventure boys! We get a lot of rain here in Vancouver , Canada so we are bathed almost daily! Ugh! But we love to be out in the rain :)
