Photo Friday: Washing
Eilan learns how to wash clothes the old fashioned way
I must have read 30 books as a kid that featured a pioneer mama washing her clothes with a washboard, but I'd never tried my hand at it until we visited the High Desert Museum in Oregon. This picture was taken about 2 minutes before Eilan removed his own shirt and threw it into the tub. Now that's what I call living history!
Reader Question: What have you gotten a chance to try for the first time on a vacation?
What is Photo Friday?
- Post a travel photo on your site. It can be about any topic, as long as it is G-rated.
- The focus of the post should be on your photo.
- You don't need to be a professional photographer (I'm not), but do showcase your best work, and make it big enough to see well!
- It's nice to include a few sentences about the photo, but it is not required.
- Link back here so that your readers can see all the other great Photo Friday posts.

I was such a fan of the "Little House" books by Laura Ingalls Wilder and remember her washing her clothes on a washboard! Something old-fashioned we did once on a trip was gold-mining, in the California gold country. That was pretty cool.

I have tried to milk a cow on a holiday! But did not succeed because the cow got nervous and did not want to give any milk. The owner had to milk her the next day in the morning :) Poor cow!

Ha ha ha!!! Eilan threw his shirt in. Totally something Dek would have done with him.

With this photo, I remember that old show entitled Kid Nation where the kids have that kind of laundry for their clothes.

It was definitely a "why didn't i see that coming" moment!

I surfed like a pro in the sand dunes last week, and it was awesome! I hesitated to try it at first because I know I'll just tumble all the way down like those who tried it first, but when I did it, I did it perfectly and I can't believe it! One of the most amazing first times I did on a vacation. :)

It doesn't looks that Eilan learns how to wash clothes at that moment. It looks like he know how to do it from long time :))))
