No matter how far you travel or how often the sun shines on your destination, sooner or later, you will run into a rainy day. A little preparation and planning, however, can make a world of difference — and fun. For more information, visit our Broadmoor RV dealership in Tri-Cities (Pasco, Kennewick, and Richland), Washington, serving Seattle and Spokane.  

RV Cinema Showcase

There’s a difference between watching a movie on a laptop and watching a film projected along with friends, family, and food. If you’re traveling with a significant other, it may be a chance to cuddle up, light a few candles, and sip drinks together while enjoying your favorite rom-coms. For kids, nothing beats pillow forts and snacks. Take your time, make the setting perfect, and relax as a family.

Colorful Crafts

Gray days are better with color. Arts and crafts could feature everything from fine watercolors to fuzzy pipe cleaners. Before your next trip, arrange some arts and crafts supplies based on the ages of your traveling companions. Kids can spend hours with coloring books and paint-by-number kits. Adults can also enjoy coloring books, of course, but they enjoy a broader range of options. Consider bringing an instant photo camera for quick scrapbooking, sketch pads, and even DIY kits. You may get some fun decorations for your RV by the end of the day.

Local Flavors

Good food cheers up dreary days. So does good coffee, wine, or ice cream. Consider getting out for the day for a nice meal, or do a local coffeeshop tour. If you’re in wine country, rainy days are great opportunities for quality time exploring what the wineries have to offer.

Day at the Museum

Although RV vacations appeal to nature-lovers, most major tourist destinations are RV friendly. On rainy days, visitors may have more options than they realize. While it may not be a good time to visit the mountains, it could be the perfect time to check out a trampoline park, a dinner theater, or a museum. If you prefer to go-see-do, keep a list of indoor attractions handy so that you won’t be hindered by rain delays.

Game Night

It doesn’t need to be evening for it to be game night. When the weather surprises you, use the surprise break in your schedule to play some old classics, try a new adventure, and compete. Setting stakes may motivate friends and family who don’t think they like board games. The winner might choose the next day’s destination, plan dinner, or claim the last cookie.

Whether you prefer to explore or soak in an experience, there’s no need to let rainy days hold you back. Get creative, embrace playtime, and enjoy venues with roofs. To learn more, visit Broadmoor RV in Tri-Cities (Pasco, Kennewick, and Richland), Washington where we also serve Seattle and Spokane.
