Washington

What a day. 

We started our travels at 5:30 am Winnipeg time (getting tot he airport for our 7am flight) and are just getting to the hotel now.  

Overall things went well. Flights were on time and we got a rental car (grandpa would be happy, it's a Kia Optima). We arrived in Vancouver at 8:20 and then left for Seattle at 11, arriving at 12:15 or so. 

I feel like we have eaten a lot of food - a muffin in Winnipeg, breakfast in Vancouver, lunch (at Dennys) in Seattle and supper (at Outback steakhouse) in Yakima. I don't imagine it will get much better as we are going to the pool party tomorrow where we will have supper and then the wedding will be full of Ukrainian food - at least I hope so, I haven't had perogies and cabbage rolls in a long time. 

It hasn't just been travel - we drove through Mount Rainier national park such added maybe an hour to our total today. It was pretty cool seeing the mountain with its snowy top in the summer heat. I think Gwen got some good pictures from the car while we were driving but those will come later. 

Oh yeah, it's hot.  100*F in Yakima when we stopped for supper at 6:15. Time for some rest and some local beers that we got at the Safeway.
