We had kind of a "do nothing" day today. After the usual morning routine...1 hour walk, shower, dress, walk Annie again....we ate oatmeal for breakfast. Then after that we needed to make a quick trip to Home Depot and Costco.
Over at Costco, the trees in the parking lot were turning a beautiful shade of red from their summer green. Pretty amazing for right here in little old Tumwater. We have better color displays if you venture out into the countryside, but we didn't feel like taking the trip as it was beginning to rain.This Costco store is right across the street from our current RV park.
Down by the Home Depot store, about 1/4 mile from Costco, we saw these nice looking trees. These are nothing like you can see in parts of the mid-west or New England to be sure....but it sure beats the pants off anything we had down in Southern California when we lived down there. Palm trees don't change colors!
It continued to rain lightly off and on all day. Overcast sky and sort of a ho-hum day. I think we'll head over to McDonald's and get a nice cup of hot coffee. Maybe we'll take our books and even sit long enough to get that free refill. It's a dirty job, but somebody has to do it.
The Pacific Northwest does have some beautiful fall color. We spent a few autumns near Portland, OR, and had great color. Thanks for sharing your Tumwater version, in a quiet, laid-back post.
We love the fulltime RV lifestyle, even when we pause to visit our family in Tumwater, Washington. We feel happy and blessed to be able to enjoy this special time living anywhere we would like to roam. Join us in our travels, and leave a comment if you please.
I am a wife, mother and grandmother. My husband, Bruce, and I live full time in our Winnebago motorhome. We began this lifestyle in 2008, after over 20 years of vacation traveling, and we love it. We have family in Tumwater, Washington so we return there every few months to be near them. The rest of the time we like to see new places. We have traveled by RV to 49 states and many areas in Canada. While doing this I try to keep my eye on our health habits. I'm a Lifetime member of Weight Watchers and being on the road traveling brings on lots of temptations. Keeping the weight off and still being able to enjoy the RV life....is all part of the adventure!

Great pics of those trees, Margie. Ours are just beginning to turn now so I'm hoping I can get some great pics like yours soon.
