August 6 2016 Dana visits the old folks

We started out the day with no agenda so it is fortunate that our daughter, Dana, and her boyfriend, Devon, were nice enough to come visit us at our RV spot in the Leavenworth Thousand Trails. We were saved from any substantial driving for almost the whole day.
We had plenty of time during the morning to tough it out with a leisurely breakfast, showers and some wonderfully unproductive bird and squirrel watching. Dana and Devon showed up in the early afternoon and we spent some time hobnobbing and drinking before deciding on a trip over to nearby Lake Wenatchee.
Peggy and I went to Lake Wenatchee with her nephew, Ian, back in April. At that time there was ample snow on the surrounding mountains, a placid lake surface with little wind and almost no people in the area. Since there was no waiting for anything, we even purchased a Washington State Parks yearly pass for $30.
It was a bit different this time. When all of us arrived today, the campgrounds are quite full, the beach was packed with seemingly happy but almost alabaster colored Washingtonians, the wind was blowing about 20 knots, many boats rocked upon the lake surface and there was no snow in sight. It was still beautiful despite the crowds. I noted they let dogs onto the beach and all of them seemed delighted to be there.
We returned to our trailer for dinner and we had some nice steaks. It was a good day today. I feel great about not getting anything productive accomplished.
