Day 1 in the RV (part 2)

Right next to the ice cream shop was a quirky little store covered in chainsaws—naturally, that caught Clark’s eye! He wandered out back and started chatting with the man who had carved all sorts of things with chainsaws over the years. The man offered to let the boys throw some axes, and they were all over that! It was such a fun and unexpected stop.

From there, we made our way to Homer, which has been our favorite place so far. There’s just something about the view of the boats bobbing in the bay and the daily rhythm of harbor life that feels peaceful and grounding. The people are incredibly friendly too. Everyone we met on the Spit seemed genuinely glad we were there—and even more excited that the sun was shining. They told us the Spit closes in October, so summer is a short and special time here.

We also tried king crab for the first time—delicious! I ordered Parmesan-crusted halibut served over creamy risotto and squash, and it did not disappoint.

So thankful for a smooth first day full of fun, flavor, friendly faces, good weather, and good health.Read more
