A Weekend in the SUN!!!!

We spent Mother's Day weekend in Toppenish, Wa at the Yakama Nation RV park. The park is on the Yakama Nation Indian Reservation. The sun was warm, the sunsets beautiful and the park was clean and quiet. This is a place to consider for all you RV'ers out there. It is deep in American Indian and farming culture. Steve and I would love to go back and take our fellow RV'ers with us. A great place for a group campout and not so far away.

Rest stop near Ellensburg. This about halfway to Yakima. Notice the Stuart Mountains in the background. Absolutely beautiful



The Yakama Nation Museum, Library and Gift Shop full of wonderful cultural items. Beaded purses, clothing and wool blankets, plus many other "goodies" you can't live without. There is also a family restaurant with actual homemade food and pretty tasty, too!! The Ledgends Casino is very close, maybe within walking distance and is supposed to have a great restaurant


These TeePees are available for camping. What a kick for the kids.
Steve reliving his inner kid
Emmy determined to get that wascally wabbit that eluded her the day before
Did I mention a heavy farming influence?? This is the Tractor Parade through the campground. There were new tractors, old tractors and everything in between. My very first tractor parade!!




Part of old downtown Yakima. The date on the sign is 1889.
I'm not sure why it has NYFD and NYPD on the front

Original train depot built in 1908
Now it is a restaurant

A great place for a cool drink on a warm day

A great ending to a wonderful day!!!
