Yesterday was a good day of driving and we spent last evening walking around Wal Mart and enjoying their incredible prices, we rented a new DVD movie at the Red Box for one dollar.

oct11 013 Don’t be confused $5 a day is the name of the movie!!

I have mentioned this before but this is a vending machine that dispenses a new release movie for one dollar and then you can return it to any other red Box location, perfect for our lifestyle.

Today we heading to Spokane then over to Everett and eventually up to Vancouver.  I have promised Sara today can be a shopping day so look out Ross, JC Penney, Costco stores!!!!!!!!

So it is now almost midnight Tuesday night and it was yet another of those special days…Sara did indeed shop till she almost dropped and I think I may have to purchase a trailer to tow behind Ramona for all her stuff!!!!!

Great gas price at Costco this afternoon..

About 6.30pm and we passed through a small town called Waterville it looked quaint so we parked and had a walk around town and came across this funky cafe..

waterville 009

A small sign said Bakery, RV park and Gallery..the sign on the door said closed but there was a lady inside and I knocked and went in and her first words were “Are you here for the scrabble night?”

So here is the deal we get to park for free in their parking lot, very quiet and safe, we get to buy breakfast and fresh baked goods in the morning and went inside and joined the scrabble club…
