Day 100 of our Trip! (Castle Rock, Washington)

Well, we’ve been on the road 100 days!!! We've travelled over 12,000 miles and been to 16 states. We've spent A LOT of money on diesel (I know the amount, but it's too depressing to include it in the blog). I've broken 2 glass bowls, 1 digital camera and 1 coffeemaker.

So what have I learned so far?

• Husbands and wives should not be together 24/7 for 100 days straight!!!
• RVing is an expensive hobby.
• I love the mountains.
• California has an unbelievable amount of cars.
• LAX has two main runways for jets.
• Jets take off every 3 minutes at LAX.
• You cannot ignore the jets taking-off if you're camping at Dockweiler's, which is directly under the southern runway of LAX.
• It is cold in Yosemite in April.
• Yosemite Valley is beautiful, no matter how cold.
• There are people who leave their cars at the gas pumps while they go to eat lunch.
• My brother’s death has been harder to handle than I expected.
• Diesel cost less than regular gasoline west of the Mississippi.
• The people from the south are the friendliest people in the country.
• Australians call RV parks “caravan parks”.
• I love watching and identifying birds. Yes, I've become one of those nerdy people with binoculars looking at birds.
• My hair hasn't been colored in months -- my hair's actually not as gray as I thought it was :-)
• Jere's losing weight while RVing; I'm going the opposite way :-(
• I think Joe's grown another inch during the last 100 days.
• I should have brought more than 2 pairs of jeans along on this trip. You really don't want to know how many days I've worn a pair of jeans before washing them.
• So far we've not found anywhere we'd rather live instead of central Pennsylvania.
• After 100 days in our 5th wheel, our house in Mechanicsburg is now referred to as "our country estate" :-)
