We Spent The Day In Seattle, Washington - Public Market - Gum Wall - First Starbucks - Space Needle
We had a blast in Seattle Washington. We were there for only a day as we headed out the next morning for a big vacation. We had a fun time at the Public Market at Pike Place, saw the gum wall, stopped by the oldest Starbucks and then we were off to the Space Needle. We stayed the night at a beautiful hotel right outside of Seatac airport.

Every Site At WillowTree RV Resort, Longs, SC - Bike Ride And Drone Footage

Over the years we've done videos of our stays at WillowTree. This is one of our favorite places to camp. There are only 107 sites that are huge, this allows for privacy and ease of not only setting up but also pulling Braking Dawn through the resort and backing into our site. One morning in June 2024 I took a ride through the resort on my ebike to video every single site. There is also drone fo...

We had another great day visiting New England. Today we spent the day in Boothbay Harbor, Maine. The cutest little coastal town. It reminded us of Amity Island, the fictional beach town in the 1980's hit, JAWS! From cute little shops to boat rides and great food. We had our first taste of a Woopie Pie and a delicious open-faced sub sandwich.

first
Thanks Tyler

@FTRV What do you folks think of KOA Campgrounds, and camping in general in NC?
KOA is getting pricey. We've stayed at plenty but honestly not in probably 2 years. The best one we've stayed at is in Rodanthe, NC, on the coast. NC mountains are great for camping. We like that area of NC the most.
That's a tight right turn, ya think? We try to come up from the South to make a left on 37th. My tip for the trip!
Ya, that's what we do and that it what I mentioned in the earlier video we did there. At the time anyway, Google maps wanted to take me down those side streets instead of staying on 17 to 37th.
What is the length of the ramps? Thank you for the helpful video!
I'm pretty sure the are 7.5 feet long.
So helpful thank you very much you just helped me figure this out in minutes without broken plastics your the best
Thank you for the positive feedback.
Just crank them down all the way? Hows everything going so far?
@@KB-xm5vg they worked great. I did move on to airbags and moved on to s super duty truck. Thanks for watching!
@@FTRV I got ya thanks for the reply
I’ve seen that campground. Year’s ago there was beach camping there but the owners sold it out. I miss going there.
@@JamesDedmon that's a shame. Campgrounds are slowly selling it to big companies. Thanks for watching.
Awesome video! We will be there early September.
Thank you and enjoy your stay!
Watching and supporting my friends tm😊❤ thank you for sharing 😊
And thank you for watching!
@@FTRV anytime . I went to basic training in fort jackson South Carolina ✅🏆🌠💪🏼
Does it matter if I place a LH on a RH side? I did what you did to check the seat switch and it did exactly like your seat did. So to me either side should work correct?
@@louismendez5039 it will work but it's opposite. So the buttons will be reversed. On the driver side the button to make the chair go closer and farther away from the steering wheel It's in the front so when you put it on the passenger side it would be in the back and you would have to push the button backwards to chair forwards vice versa. And it won't snap into the plastic cover/frame. If that makes sense.
Thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching
Thanks for the info. nice to know which sites would work best.
Thanks for watching!
We love Willow Tree!
It is definitely a nice place. Peaceful yet plenty to do.
Ty!
And thank you for watching!
👍🏾
Thanks for the thumbs up!
👍🏾
Thank you for watching!
I live nearby. Your inside the Resort perspective is nice. We watched this place as it was built. When you return try some of the public island beaches. Very nice. Visit Old Town Bluffton, too. There is an app for a self-guided tour there, many shops and restaurants, too.
Thank you for watching and for the information. We love visiting old historic towns. We can't wait to go back. It's our new favorite campground.
Just found your channel. Great job guys. Safe travels and Happy Camping.
Thanks for watching. Hope you enjoy our content. Safe travels to you and yours.
nice!
Thank you. Easy to understand repair
Glad it worked for you. Thank you for watching
Hotta love a luau!
They are fun
Happy birthday and happy mother's day!
Thank you and thanks for watching.
👍👍
Awesome!!! Great video!! Yall be good and stay safe!! Happy Birthday Ms. Madison!!
Thank you. Happy summer!
Yeah that's just plain old GREED.
Ya, we weren't impressed. Thanks for watching and Happy Camping!
I've never: rented a car, booked a hotel room, or purchased an airline ticket in advance only to show up and be told you owe more money because the rate has been raised. I suppose they have to pay for all of the new expansion somehow?!?!
Ya, that's exactly what we thought. If I looked and saw a price and then went back 3 months later to book it or even a day later to book it and it was a different price I'd understand that. Not sure if you're familiar with camping in that area but we've gone to Carolina Pines numerous times, they've been expanding since the day they opened yet we've never had the price changed the day we show up. Happy Camping and thanks for watching!
Small differences make a car look 10x better. This made my car look brand new again.
You're right about that. Thanks for watching.
I'm doing my research currently. This was a great video. My dad bought a golf cart and I have a F150 6 ft box. Now we're trying to find good ramps, and any helpful tips we can get !
My tip would be to make sure the ramps are secure and stand clear. I've witnessed 2 people jump clear from a falling golf cart while trying to load it into the back of a truck. Thanks for watching!
Looks like a great trip!
Yes, it was a nice area.
You should have been locked in for that amount on the date that you made the reservation and not had to pay because the campground raised the rates after you were booked and paid. I would not go back either!
Yep. In today's world could you imagine buying something online at Target and going to pick it up and then having to pay a couple bucks more? Seems strange. There's so many other campgrounds, we won't miss it. Thanks for watching and Happy Camping!
Looks like another "must see" place. Thanks for sharing
It is. We'll definitely go back
I love that area!!! It's as if time just stands still there!!
Yes, we enjoyed it. We liked it better than St. Simon's. We love the idea of being able to bike the whole island. Thanks for watching!
Good reviews. But I don't think that alcohol should be talked about on line. In a family setting.
Shoulda got Madison to ride it
She probably would have.
Thanks mines doing the same
Thanks for watching. Hope it helps.
Do they allow early check in?
Sorry, but I'm not sure.
Looks beautiful
It is
I hope you have fun!!!!
Thank you.
@@FTRV 👍👍👍👍
Enjoyed the presentation. The Carolinas are great.
Thank you and Happy Camping!
Nice video. Did they have full hood up .water and sewer and electric?
Thank you and thanks for watching. Yes, they have full hookups. Happy Camping!
Let me fill you in on another billing rip-off. We stayed at Carolina Pines from Oct 2023 until March 1st 2024. We went all over Myrtle Beach, Socastee, North Myrtle Beach and every point in between looking for another place to snowbird. Carolina Pines has it's own problems and we will not stay there again. I went into the NMB RV Dry Dock Marina and ask for rates and availability for 2024. Was given the rate for 90 days & beyond. I ask about the state tax, county tax, hospitality tax for stays longer than 90 days being waived. GET THIS. I was told that you had to pay the tax during the 90 days and then when you hit the 90 day mark they stop charging the tax from that point on. I questioned this as I knew this was not true. The female manager came out and verified that policy. I knew at that point this was not the place for us. I called the Horry county tax administration department and ask for the ordinance on this tax waiver. The lady at the tax office told me the following, if at the time of your booking you booked longer than 90 days and stayed at the same location for that time, it is unlawful to be charged the tax. I wanted to know from the regulatory authority that governs this area. I sure hope others that may have stayed longer than 90 days and paid the unlawful tax contacts the tax department to request a refund from this place. I have a feeling this has been going on for sometime as it's become a policy.
I wouldn't be surprised. We haven't stayed there since and don't plan on going back. As for Carolina pines, we used to love that place. It's certainly has everything you want in a resort. We even stay there for 3 months in 2022 during that pack and play or whatever they called it stay and play I don't know. Their prices have gotten out of control and you cannot get a hold of anyone when you call. Plus, during the busy season you can barely move in that main pool. But that's what happens when big corporations take over. We haven't stayed there in more than a year. Did you look at Barefoot RV Resort? We like that place. Happy Camping!
@@FTRV Yes we did and have booked a 6 mths stayed this year. It hasn't gotten any better at CP. Prices went up again this year. Park & play for 87 days is now $3700.00. This place has become the party/let your kids destroy others people's property for the locals. A lot of people we talked to while there has said they won't return either. We are on the list for Willow Tree and are staying there for easter weekend. Covid was the reason a lot of people started camping. Now that's passed, the junk RV's manufacture's built and the interest rates high, things are changing. It'll take time to reflect the change. Now Carolina Pines is letting locals by passes to come into the park. Let that sink in.
🤘🤘
Always wanted to try this place out. Headed up to Talona Ridge Rv Resort in June.
It's definitely our go to place. It helps that it's less than 3 hours too. Enjoy your trip. We've never stayed in that area. Let us know how it was.
Looks like a great place. Love the drone shots.
It is. Thanks for watching!
Great video and we have missed yall!! We have tried several times to get into Willow Tree but it stays busy!!! Spring break is next week for us and we are headed to Savannah Ga and this is our first time out this year. We normally go in February but work is work and we love to have more than a weekend there!! Take care and look to seeing yall soon!!
Thanks for watching. Ya, Dawn usually books out up to a year before. Although, this time we lucked out. Have fun in Savannah, where are you staying? Savannah is our favorite east coast city/town.
@@FTRV we normally stay at Creek fire but they are slammed so we are staying at the KOA
Creekfire is nice. Haven't been to that KOA yet. I see it's right off 95, that's nice and easy
PERFECT VIDEO!!!
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Great idea using the winch and tow hook. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for watching. Happy Camping!
I think it was smooth. Good job.
