As I watched this week's vlog I thought your children have such a big world. Every day they get to learn new things and see new places. Their lives are so enriched by what you are doing. As a child, I grew up in a small town in Ohio. My parents never took me and my siblings anywhere. Now my husband and I are full time RVers. We always dreamed of traveling when we were working. And two years ago, we sold our house and hit the road. No it hasn't always been easy, but we are enjoying the journey together. And you are right, it's not always the destination. What JJ said brought tears to my eyes as every day should be the best day of our lives. He's a wise child.

Ironically, I live 10 minutes away from the main Olympic Park entrance. I used to hike all over the park until I fell and injured my back. Now I explore the park by electric bicycle on the few trails that allow it. For the rest of park exploration, I watch You Tube! I love watching the delight on visitors faces when they experience this magical park that I'm so fortunate to call home.

Our go every year in April or September. The tree of life was just a tree until my 20's and was not attraction to seek out.

Welcome to our little part of the world. The Washington Coast down near Kalaloch is my favorite place in the world to camp and have done it since I was a boy. Sekiu is pronounced "See cue." It's fun seeing the excitement in your family in Olympic National Park. There's so much more there to see and experience. For tidepools, we've found that Beach 4 is the best with pretty large tidepools.

When I lived in Texas as a teenager, I went to school one day and when putting my shoe on felt a lump under my foot. I figured my sock had gotten bunched up. When I got to 3rd period PE, I took my shoe off and there had been a Texas sized cockroach in my shoe. We had snakes, frogs and all kind of other critters we had to constantly look out for in our shoes.

We did Olympic for the first time this year. We were absolutely crazy and took a 35' Brinkley into Mora Campground. We made it but it was super tight. We did Cape Flattery as well just to check the most northwest point off the list. We think it's a must do because it's quite beautiful. And speaking of beautiful, we would also recommend the Hall of Mosses trail in the Ho Rainforest. That trail is unbelievably gorgeous. Also one last thing on Olympic. It is one of the few National Parks we have been in that have some dog friendly hikes. Since we full-time with a little dog, she had a great time hanging out at Rialto Beach! Fun video guys!!

Good to see a bit of Olympic National Park. I haven't been there since 2017. The first back packing trip I remember was with my little brother and dad back in the 50s from Lake Ozette out to Cape Alava. There was no boardwalk then and the trail was just a bit damp. Back in the late 60s through the middle 70s I have spent literally months back packing in the Olympic Mountains. In fact my honeymoon was a 5 day back packing trip from the Staircase ranger station to Flapjack Lakes and then up the the Skokomish River and over a pass to Home Sweet Home. The park is so much more developed now and so crowded. Back when I spent a lot of time there you could hike for a week and not see anyone. You really need to up the Hoh river. The campground there is one of my favorites. I hope this is only the first of several videos.

I've been to Cape Flattery twice now.. Both times there was absolutely no one else there. The first time there was a bald eagle pair and cormorants flying in and out of those caves for nesting. If any of you are close, take the time to see it, you will not regret it.

My first trip to Olympic Nat'l Park was back in 1982. My best friend and me headed out from IL to visit my brother in Portland. We camped (in a tent) at that park for a couple days and it is BEAUTIFUL there. It looks a lot different today than it did back in the early 80s. "JJ has two speeds, Cheetah and sloth"...I laughed so hard! Thanks for the memories!

I am so happy you were able to make your dream come true. I have been to Washington several times and other than seeing relatives, my dream has always been to see and stay at the Olympic National Forest. Unfortunately, each time, unexpected things happened that resulted with immediate departure and hurry back to our state across the country from Washington. Thank you for making this video so I can now at least see what I have always dreamed seeing and doing (especially the hikes!). P.S. Great prank on Mom, putting that rubber snake in her shoe! 😂😂😂

Yes! I lived on the peninsula for 22 years and the Olympics were our “backyard” playground. We also did the drive around and up to Cape Flaherty. We stayed at Sol Duc for a weekend, at the time we had my Border Collie, Nevin. We stayed in the camping cabins 😊 and soaked in the hot springs. Sekiu is pronounced sea-koo. On another trip we hiked into Second Beach and set up camp-all at midnight because we left the city so late that we could not find a campground that was empty. So we hiked in to the beach and set up in the dark with my dog. We had to hike over the fallen logs too! And you’ve seen how big those things are that get washed onto the shore! lol 😆 Another great day trip in Washington is Deception Pass.

We live in Western Washington and agree that the Olympic National Park is way underrated. By the way, the slimy thing that Jason wondered about in the tidepool is a sea anemone. The tenticles come out under water and the are greenish and translucent. The Makah have a fantastic museum out near Cape Flattery. I wish you could have visited it. Maybe next time.

Love the Olympic Peninsula! You should go check out La Push, Ruby Beach, Kalaloch. There is also Hoh Rainforest, which gets very crowded. A nice alternative is Quinault Rainforest Nature Trail (has nice RV parking as well). Way less crowded and just as nice, right on Lake Quinault. Also, Sekiu (one of my favorite places in the world, you should have gone down into it to see lots of bald eagles!), is pronounced "see-kew".
