| Blue skies over Site 12 at Lake Pleasant RV Park, Bothell, WA. |
This weekend we took our Forest River Sunseeker south to Seattle for the NCAA Women's Softball Regionals at the University of Washington (UW). Seattle doesn't have many RV parks. The closest I found online was Lake Pleasant RV Park in Bothell.

| Our "rent-a-toad" from the Enterprise in Bothell. |
Public transit was complicated. The Uber estimate was $38-$50 per direction for three games. We decided to use "rent-a-toad." That's my nickname for Enterprise Rent-A-Car. Total cost was $125 for three days with unlimited miles. The Bothell office also provided free pick-up. Deal done!
 |
| We enjoyed the wide pad and grassy lakeshore. |
The park is well maintained. Sites are paved, wide, level and divided with trees and hedges for privacy. Green grass adds to the natural ambiance. Each site comes with a picnic table. There are no wood fires, but portable propane fire pits are allowed.

| Fellow Canadians made us feel at home. |
Lake Pleasant is a nature preserve. It's home to Canada Geese, ducks, and at least one heron. We loved sitting in the sun and waking to the sounds of nature rather than traffic. This trip we missed hiking the forest trails surrounding the park.
We will be back for sure, every time we attend a University of Washington game, professional sports or other event in the Seattle area. Reservations are highly recommended, especially during the busy summer months.

The combination of the Lake Pleasant RV Park and Enterprise Rent-A-Car make it the perfect spot to stay any time of the year. -- Margy

ReplyDeleteFabulous! You'll have a lot of fun with those wheels.
ReplyDeleteHow fun!
ReplyDeleteThat was a great buy Margy. There will be no stopping you now that summer's here.
ReplyDeleteI always wanted one of those big motorhomes but never quite got around to it.
You have the most amazing adventures! I love them.
ReplyDeleteOh how I love your new motorhome! We had one about the same size and loved traveling in it. Now we are thinking of getting a pull behind. It's SO much fun to go places and camp! I'll look at info about yours! heehee! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteI learned something new today (toad)!! Looks like a beautiful RV and look forward to many future adventures.
ReplyDeleteNever been in a motor home, but definitely the way to travel.
ReplyDeleteHaven't been on an RV but I would love to someday under a big sky or on a peaceful campsite like this :)

ReplyDeleteYou have it all figured out. I never knew that the tow behind car is a toad, let alone rent a toads.
ReplyDeleteI bet you will have a lot of fun in your RV.

I like the idea of renting a toad!
ReplyDeleteA home away from home is a great way to go to games. I know you're glad you have it!
ReplyDeleteWe went away in our caravan last week. At least we can unhitch and leave it at the caravan park when we go off for the day. Happy travels! And thank you for stopping by my blog last week.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a lovely time and what a beautiful RV park! Lucky you!

Wonderful that you have anew RV and can go on amazing trips. Looking forward to reading about them.
ReplyDeleteI recently renamed my first novel: The Girl in the R.V. We'll see if it sticks. Happy travels!
ReplyDeleteMargy - the RV has expanded your horizons, and not just in terms of travel. You have had the opportunity to utilize your problem-solving skills to great effect! Thanks for sharing these tips. (And I am still giggling about the "toad" moniker - I will never look at those cars in the same way again!(
ReplyDeleteYou lead such an interesting life! I love reading about your adventures.
