Hmmmm…at least the free yogurt is gluten free. Not so the pastries, muffins and biscuits and gravy. Why do all the free breakfasts have biscuits and gravy. I thought those were only in the south. And apparently at free breakfasts everywhere.
10:24 a.m.
Very cool - dust devils! We are passing through some recently plowed fields and there are little dust tornadoes popping up everywhere.
2:13 p.m.
There is this Dodge Van that is driving MV nuts. It is getting in the way of all the trucks and messing up the driving pattern.
We are driving by this giant field of windmills. There has to be 100 of these things. You can’t imaging how big they really are if you haven’t gotten up close to one of them. None are moving at all. Big change from the monster winds of yesterday. We decide that it would be totally cool to have a giant windmill in the backyard. Like, way back on the property line, not right behind the garage or anything,
2:24 p.m.
J: Look at that big mountain in the distance.
MV: Which is it?
J (consulting map): I think it’s Mt. Rainier.
MV: Why do I know that name?
J: It’s a beer.
MV: No, some other reason.
J: Oh, it’s also the highest point in Washington. You know, people climb it.
MV: Yeah, I think it’s that, not that it’s a beer.
5 p.m.-ish
We make it to Seattle. We drive up the mountain and through the very narrow street to arrive in front of Steph’s house. She comes out the door and says, “I didn’t think it would be that big!”
We stash the truck at Safeway and a lovely dinner (with no beef jerky on the menu at all!)
