Day 1 success...Washington to Oregon

We launched this morning at 10 am and drove from Poulsbo to Boardman, Oregon.  We broke a ceremonial bottle of champagne on the "bow" of the RV.....although it didn't want to break.  Our first 315 miles are successfully under our belt.  Gratefully we had no major issues and a good day all around.  Mac rode with John and Emily and I drove together.  Emily was very intrigued by the windmills. We've traveled across the country several times but the kids were so little they don't remember.  She enjoyed learning about the dam and the windmills.  We were able to visit a beautiful bench our sister-in-law put in for her parents who have passed away and loved camping at dam.  We pulled into a great campsite and enjoyed a nice walk and some family time.  Finn was mesmerized by a flock of geese and glad to be a little warmer than he has been.  John gave both kids a pocket knife with some strict guidelines.  Mac has had a pocket knife before but this is Emily's first, she thought it was pretty cool and now she doesn't have to borrow one to whittle.  Off to Idaho tomorrow!!!!
