We left the Lowes of Burlington this morning and repositioned to the Walmart of Arlington for a day of home schooling and RV repairs:

We had wanted to visit North Cascades National Park, but the drive was 70ish miles one way from Burlington and the weather was very cloudy and it was raining. I called the visitor center and they confirmed that the mountains were hidden by clouds, so we decided to skip it for now.

See the trip map for driving details.

It was another cloudy, dreary day here in Washington:

Trish finalized her reorganization of the pantry:

B did some of her homeschool on her wall:

When I initially installed the door between the living room and the bathroom, the door opened outward into the living room, which caused the door to collide with B’s bedroom door.  I took the door down and remounted it so it now opens into the bathroom:

In Geography, the kids learned about and recreated the terracotta soldiers found in the tomb of Qin Shi Huang, first emperor of China:
 

B (left) and Trish (right) wait for their soldiers to dry:

Exciting News! We’ve finally posted podcasts that the kids produced for pervious days on our trip.  The podcasts can be found at the end of the posts for these three days:

Day 406: Great Basin National Park

Day 407: Flat Out at the Bonneville Flats

Day 410: Craters of the Moon National Monument

To avoid wearing out our welcome, we’re overnighting at the Lowe’s of Burlington.  Since we had no sun all day, I’m running the generator to charge the batteries, one of the few times we’ve had to do that on this trip.
