Well, we knew it was coming and it did. Lots of rain Saturday night into Sunday morning.
There was no easy way to finish packing up except to get soaked. And I was by the time we got done.
We had already packed up the camp stove and kitchen because we knew it was going to rain. So we couldn't make coffee so I grabbed a cup of cocoa for everyone at the camp store.
We went to the visitor center so the girls could get their Junior Ranger badges. :)
So glad we had beautiful, clear days while we were there. When it rains, it totally changes the view. :)
And look at the temp...45 degrees! Brr!!! On July 3rd. LOL! That's what you have to prepare for when you vacation in the mountains.
Remember how the road through the park was still closed due to snow? So it took us a minute to travel from the east side down around the south side to the west side. The rain had stopped by then. We didn't have any breakfast so we pulled out lunch meat, summer sausage, cheese, and crackers for lunch - out of the back of the van. Don't need anything fancy when camping! :)
After hitting up a couple gift shops and eating lunch in the parking lot, we went to get ice cream before we hit the road.
Guess who came in the shop right when we were going to order???
Governor Ron DeSantis!!! So you see him laughing in my photo...he asked Eric where we were from (Eric was wearing his Miami Dolphins sweatshirt.). Eric says...Oregon...I'd rather not say what city though. :)))
Addie's boyfriend, Chris, was standing right beside me and says very loudly, "Hey, that looks exactly like Ron..." I elbowed him and said, "That IS Ron DeSantis!"
It was VERY cool! A huge highlight to end our vacation with. :)))
