I live on the ocean and sleep like a baby with the fresh salt air and crashing waves. It always lulls me to sleep
Sounds like u have your slice of heaven and cherish it🌞🕊🌻
@@cheryldaniels8801 sounds like Maine...
Good for you taking action and finding such a beautiful retreat from the heat.
Joey is a lucky boy to have such a caring momma!!🥰👍
You and Joey hit the jack pot here! This place would be awesome to wake up to whale watching in the morning. Thanks for taking us along!
Your fantastic, I love your travels and your dog Joey. Keep your self true like you are...hugs...
Nothing better than hearing the crashing waves ~~~~ Love it ~~~ enjoy
Love Port Townsend and Whidbey Island! So glad you and Joey found a sea breeze to get you through the intense heat🥰

Best loaded thank you card 💩ever. GRANDMA WE LOVE YOU TOO!💝🌞🌻
Thank you for sharing yours and joeys journeys, I so look forward to them. We are now in level 4 in NZ now. Aroha to all. Keep safe.
So glad you are able to Show our Beautiful Pacific Northwest.
Love your "Weirdo's Unite" sticker from VanCityVanLife Chrome. Love his channel as well.
Joey is the cutest!!! Hawaii loves Joey 💞🌺
Glad you escaped the heat! I was still living in Portland at the time and 116 degrees was so hellish! Over 100 people died in Oregon from the heat that weekend. Happy you and Joey were safe, such a good mama 💕
Joey is living the life I really would love to be him right now !! Awesome man just awesome!!!
Beautiful place to spend your time and then to see a 🐋. So happy you found a breeze. So looking forward to seeing your next video. Stay safe out there and give Joey a treat for being such a good boy.
Hi, You visit some amazing places, you really do! How is Joeys' bite on his neck? All better, I hope! ✌️🐕💚
Love the sound of that ocean!
ur my favorite channel
What a gorgeous beach! And whales??! So amazing!
What a beautiful site... THEN you get the whale showing up..... So beautiful!
Beautiful! Thanks for another amazing video!
Just bought your shirt, My Basic Journey, love the color! In the summer, you can't beat the puget sound. Lived on the sound in Birch Bay for 10 years before moving to Glendale Az.
Oh I loved this video. I could listen to the sounds of the ocean all day. Thank you
Enjoying this from the UK - thanks for sharing 😀
I really enjoy your videos and all the beautiful places you visit. They are relaxing and therapeutic for me. I hope you had a chance to go for a swim, although cold it's refreshing. I hope Joey is doing ok. I know he has a good mom to look after him. Please stay safe and I look forward to your future videos.🌴🍀🌳🌵🌲🌿
that was a beautiful spot you got to stay, very lucky indeed .. hope lil Joey is feeling better, stay safe my friend
You have so many great videos. Every time I click on one. Another one pops up and I want to watch that one too
Good for you and Joey! It was scary hot! 116 in PDX.
Wish you the best!
What a beautiful spot to rest.
Great video as always. Safe travels!
Oops forgot it was in Allen ,loved getting to see it on your video , I miss and love all the rainforest scenery of Washington state. Global warming has got to it ,never was to hot back in the day.Hope to send you something soon.Be safe.
Love Ebey's Landing. Very peaceful and soothing and COOLER!!! Haven't made it up to WA yet. Will have to check out EL when I do. Thanks for sharing. An Oregon nomad 🌲❤🐶😽❤🌲
What a beautiful spot!
Port Townsend is from the first Twilight movie! Bella and her friends go there to look at Prom dresses. 🧛
Very Relaxing.
Nice to just drive away from the heat!
New follower here. Love the views. Amazing photos!
Amazing how the ferry docks
Chantelle…. Another great video. As for Joeys Feet. Reminder… surface temperature can be up to 20 to 50 degrees hotter than air temperature. For sure at 90 degrees the tar would burn his paw pads. Glad you both found relieve from the heat. Was the ferry ride expensive?
It was about $16 to ride the ferry.
Loved your intro great video all the way to the end
Very Fun Video! I Live Here In Sumner Washington, Awesome Town!! Hugs To The Both Of You!!!
Girl, I feel ya! i HATE THE HEAT! I Live in phoenix! I am trying my damdndest to get the hell outta here! I want to start my car life and I got all my supplies but it has left me totally broke so I STILL cannot leave! I'm having to work and work and work to save up but it's so hard w/these inflationary times! I hope to start car life soon!
You didn't luck out, you made it happen!~ You are awesome :-) AND you saw a whale! So cool!!
Man, I'd be swimming !
We were just staying in west Seattle for a month and it was sooo hot too. It's just now cooling off. We feel your pain!
Yup .... it was 117 in Salem Oregon then .... it was AWFUL. Especially since our central AC in our house went tits up ..... luckily we had a window unit in the kitchen (got the last one on Amazon) and I nailed up a quilt betewen the kitchen/TV room and the rest of the house .... we just lived in those 2 rooms until it was bedtime, then we had a portable AC in the upstairs bedroom & a ceiling fan. Not fun!!!
You are adorable and of course so is Joey. I just got a Dodge grand caravan which by October I will move into. It's almost ready. I live in Arkansas so I'm going to be a city dweller and stay close to my job. I too hate hot weather. Sure wish someone would invent a solar ac. Lol. Enjoy wherever your wheels take you.
Go to the high mountains when it’s hot.
I absolutely hate the heat.
love seeing your videos 😊
Always welcome to come back to whidbey and visit! Was great to meet you even if it wasn't here but one of your next spots ;) been enjoying watching the journey! Thank you for sharing such beauty always!!!
Wow I'm so jealous. I so want to be there. Maybe next year
The new into is cute. :)
Sadly, when I checked where you were, i found reports they have closed it as of Aug 16th. Makes me sad, it looks so beautiful, was really hoping to spend a little time there one day soon.
Poor Joey and his knees. ☹️ I know how that goes. My little Yorkie had luxating patellas (both knees), with one fused on the inside. She ended up tearing her ACL on the worst side just a few months into our van life, had to return home so we could have the ligament tear and the knee repaired. Currently 10 weeks post op and still not 100%. We still have the other knee to do...and can't until the one we've done is strong enough to carry the full load. 😭 No way I could have rehabbed her after the surgery while on the road. Current plan is to be back out there in January. 🙏🏻🤞🏻🙏🏻🤞🏻🙏🏻 Happy travels and stay cool. You put out some of the best content for van life. It's not about the fancy vans, it's all about the places you go, the hikes and new experiences. Thanks so much for sharing yours with us.
My Morkie, Tina , had the sane. I started treating her with Glucosamine + and her right rear leg has mot gotten stuck at the knee for almost 5 years mow. Believe me I freaked out the first time I saw her leg stucked up! Ig works abs I give if to her every day. Also to Gypsy because she's 14. Tina is 9. Try it. You have nothing to loose and your pet has all to win. God bless
@@luzrucci5534 My 2 1/2 yo Peke is on glucosamine. Vet said all the joints seem fine with manipulation. However, we hike a lot so to hopefully ward off future issues, the vet prescribed glucosamine. Glad it helped your fur kid. An Oregon nomad 🌲❤🐶😽❤🌲
Hi patrick. After the recovery for sure. To recooperate. Just keep on keepin on. Hit the vanlife road. Relax take it easy enjoy freedom peace of mind meet new friends. You will be glad you did. Love you and all. Prayers are with you. Jesus will take care of everyone. We all thank him daily for what he did on the cross for us. Enjoy traveling to see the beauty jesus provided for us to see. Thank you. May god bless.
You were 15 minutes away from me at Belfair State Park.
Fun fun!
Joey only has eyes for you😍 Beautiful sunset!!!
Wow my daughter lives in Olympia my son in law is stationed with the army I hope to drive my van up there after it is ready.
How fun..it looked so cool and I am jealous..lol
Wow :) very nice, thankx
I really loved seeing the ocean with you and the whale!
I was soooo excited to see that you were on Whidbey Island. My little corner of the world. Glad you enjoyed it. And, I've lived here 51 years of my 52 years of living and still haven't seen a whale.
Hello Chantelle, I have recently subscribed to your channel. I have really enjoyed watching your traveling experience with your pup Joey. Keep it going… cheers from England!!
Ebeys landing! I could feel your relief from the heat! Orcas rock. 👍🇨🇦😎🌲🐾
Always having to escape the harsh winter then escape the harsh heat that is just exhausting I finally had to give up the rv life buy a small piece of land and live in a tiny home the security and stability was very important in my life and once you have done and seen it then what................
Lovely sunset spot! But why is no one swimming? Is it not a nice swimming beach?
KUDOS and WOW! Thank you SO MUCH for sharing! I have been a PNW Coast hugger forever, except for a 16 year detour to Dallas TX for job, then moved back for family:) You went by allyn that I used to commute that way every other week... miss it. Had to LOL when your Van temp, as I did the same thing in my old Caravan.... May have to get back out there since I got a newer Caravan, and wander again... just a little harder in my 70's... All the BEST to you and Joey, safe travels! Cheers:)
Do I see a Weirdos Unite sticker on ur dash? Chrome & Cruzie rock.

👍👍💪🙂👍👍
🌼 How exciting!!! A WHALE!!! It has been stinkin' hot everywhere. I'm so glad you found a place to be able to chillax with your little Joey. 💙💙💙
Ebbeys Landing is one of my favorite spots. My pups and I hike the trail that starts at the bathroom. I was just in Coupeville last weekend for a big art festival. I am an artist/vendor and that’s one of my favorite shows. Too bad you weren’t around for that event. It was actually a little chilly! 😃
ahhsome vid...i need to check out Ebey landing...cant wait for fall the heat makes me cranky to lol its an old lady thing for me ☺
Beautiful ♥️ park ac to keep you cool 😎 watching fr jamaica 😎🌅🏖️
Very nice video
I love Port Townsend! Fort Warden is a cool spot to visit. I lived in WA state for 10 years. Beautiful place😊
I am still laughing at kitchen dick road from the last video! i really enjoy your videos thanks for sharing!! 💯❤️
Ditch the coffee. And get Gatorade
And a bag of ice..thanks always for the interesting videos🚐🚘🚐👏
Please tell us about how your mail catches up with you.
When do you ever service your van?
I wish they sold thoughtcloud in canada. When it was that hot here I had some peppermint essential oil mixed with water in a spray bottle and i would spray it on me to cool down. It also repels spiders if you spray it on surfaces
I use the Thoughtcloud 1000mg balm for my plantar fasciitis and arthritis issues. It's amazing ... thanks to you (ordered it earlier this year with your code) !! I've been wanting to try a tincture to help me sleep but not sure which one I should start with.
That's awesome! I like the high CBN tincture for sleep.
Did you go to the artesian well in Oly?? It’s the best
You received a package that you said was anniversary edition but I could not tell what it was.
It was starbucks anniversary blend coffee. Lol
Oh cool! You were in the town I was born in (Olympia) on my birthday (June 26th.)
I really enjoy your videos! This one is one of my favorites!!❤️
Well you look cool love your hair today. Kisses to Joey💗😊
Stay safe and cool....love you life!!
Beautiful scenery. Thank you for sharing 😊. It definitely a well deserved break for you guys 💯💞. Stay safe 💟
Time to get a hotel room
I bought bootie for my lil chihuahua baby. That way she can take walks with Mom & Dad on pavement, hot sand and cactus. Hope it works. I feel ya I HATE THE HEAT!!
How do you get your mail on the road?
What a glorious place to spend time! Glad you got out of the intense heat! Love your filming of the areas your in & how you let these places shine
Love your videos and the places you go. Glad Joey is ok. You take care and safe travels!
Wow. This video was so relaxing. I can’t wait to get my van next year and start van life.😄
Now you are in my old stomping grounds. Loved Ft Casey and Ft Ebey. Deception Pass was beautiful too.
Yes agreed, deception pass is stunning!!
Yes, we were hitting 115 here in Walla Walla. I was worried about you since I figured you were still here in Washington so wondering if you were holed up ins cave somewhere! :) Love, love, love this video. I lived for a year directly on the ocean shore about a mile north of Deception Pass.
I would just want to go down and lay in the water.
The temp predicted in Olympia today is 77°F. This was filmed a couple weeks ago?
Joey looks like he's gotten over being attacked. Poor fellow!
Love your videos.
Yes, during the heatwave. My videos are always delayed for safety reasons.
Oh....yeah that's right! Minivan Lee had a problem and would not disclose locations! Good! Stay safe!
I have a question. Do people not swim in the Pacific Ocean? You've been to so many beaches and there is never anyone swimming! On the east coast we swim in the Atlantic even though the water is frigid temperatures, especially during hot spells. Just wondering.....
The water is ice cold. I put my feet in, but I couldn't do much more than that. Lol
Cold temps aside, you have to be very careful of rip tides and currents.
Lots of people do swim in the Pacific ocean, I think she often goes to more remote locations, but the main beaches up and down the west coast are full of swingers and he surfer's .... But yes, it's COLD 🥶
thanks everyone for your replies. I guess the Pacific isn't all that different from the Atlantic Ocean (north of Boston, the NH and Maine coastline). I think you may see more sharks than we do.
Is that even really possible? Escaping the heat while living in the minivan? I mean I suppose you could drive out to somewhere colder but that's a heck of gas expense right there.
Hi from Tennessee. Glad you and Joey could excape the heat. Being hot is no fun. Thanks for sharing your journey. Have a fantastic day.
