I made it! I'm back in the Seattle area. After almost 2,000 miles in the past week, I won't be up for any more road trips in the foreseeable future ... I'm pretty sure I have calluses forming on my hands. I guess I should have picked up some driving gloves before I started this adventure. Why didn't any of you warn me? :-)
The drive through the Cascades was beautiful. I stopped at a lookout point near where I-90 crosses the Columbia River. The wind was so strong that the birds were flying backward and I think I may have seen some small children and dogs take flight! The attached picture of my hair blowing in the wind doesn't do justice to how windy it really was!
I arrived at Ann's in Everett around 7pm last night. This afternoon, Mary and I went to Pike Place Market and did a short driving tour of downtown Seattle. We picked up lots of goodies at the market, including a beautiful bouquet of flowers and some "oh my god" peaches. They got that name for good reason, every person that I saw try them said "oh my god, that's the best peach I've ever had."
My favorite store / slogan from the entire trip ... Voodoo Doughnuts (in Portland) - the magic is in the hole.
This will probably be my last entry. I plan to relax and do absolutely nothing but visit with Ann until I leave on Wed morning. See you soon!
