DAY 15

Today (Friday) was a day we like to call PJ day. The past few months have been very hectic with preparing for the move and all, so it is nice to take a day to just veg out in PJs. We hung out in the trailer most of the day. It rained all night and most of the morning. Our RV site has a canopy of trees over head so it is always shaded. It is very hypnotizing having the rain patter on the roof with an overcast hue. It only adds to the pure enjoyment of the PJ day. But even with the PJ day we have laundry and cleaning to be done.

After we finished our chores we decided to run a couple errands. We headed over to Ft. Lewis Army Post which was just down the road. Their FamCamp is awesome and it’s right along the side of a lake with paved spots and lots of tree privacy. We drove around to check it out and found very pristine buildings from before the turn of the century. It had housing that was of royal caliber and perfectly landscaped parade grounds. It was the largest Post Brad or I have seen to date. They had the usual bowling alley, movie theater, fitness center, but they also had a roller skating rink which was packed. They offered Seattle’s Best and Starbucks, Popeye’s chicken, and Burger King to name a few.

In keeping with the true PJ day we decided to grab dinner out before heading home. We choose to dine in a restaurant called “Shari’s”. The kids thought it sounded great as Brad’s moms name is Shari. It is spelled the same and she is known for good food, especially the Kringlas. We learned it is a chain with over 100 restaurants all through out the West Coast. The food was pretty good if you’re looking for cheap home-style much better than a Denny’s but same kind of menu. I gotta recommend the Cinna-sensation French Toast…sugar buzz never hurt anyone. Also kids eat free on Saturday and Sundays.

We waddled into the shopette after dinner and rented the movie Ice Age 2. The kids thought it was hilarious and even quote the lines from the movie. I am lame and old and I fell asleep just after the movie started. I would like to see it. Maybe next time I can make it through the end.
