Despite lack of evidence on this blog, Casey and I arrived in Seattle on Saturday. I was proud of my speedy updates for the first half of the trip, but then we got really
really tired. Drive, eat, sleep, repeat.
Friday took us from the Salt Lake City area through Idaho and into Oregon.
Travel day 4: 570 miles
We got to see lots of family, stopping in Idaho to see some of Casey's family and then staying over night with his parents in Hermiston. The dogs enjoyed the break to be outside and play, although Bear isn't too fond of the cold. Kitsune, on the other hand, loves it. She stretches out of the car window into the cold rain and tucks her little ears back. Pure joy.
Friday also brought us more mountain passes in the dark - something I never desire to experience again. Overall, the views were still nice and the drivers started becoming more polite than previous states and more reasonable as far as speed is concerned.
Travel day 5: 260 miles
Our fifth and final travel day brought us into our new home state of Washington! (and over
more mountain passes) We left Casey's parents in the morning and arrived to my cousin's house in the afternoon. We were greeted by western Washington's typical weather: tons of rain. Surprise! (not)
Since arriving on Saturday, we haven't given up on our new hobby of extreme driving. It seems like we're still in the car all day looking at and visiting both neighborhoods and apartments. We've had a few promising prospects, and hope to get a phone call today that we have a home! Until we have a home update, here are some pics of our last driving days:
Welcome to Washington!
