Day 1

OLIVIA :
220 miles from Woodinville to the Potholes in Eastern Washingon. The most un-scenic 220 miles I've experienced in a long time. It was pretty! but we went over Stevens Pass, and I've gone over that pass a few too many times. The most eventful thing the whole day was right when we left, first we had to go back for the paper, then we had to go back for the bills to take to the post office! I guess dad was just a little excited to get on the road. :) We left around noonish and got to Grandma's house around 5, so it was a long day. Tomorrow is our longest day.... supposedly, but it should be pretty fast and straight so we'll see how it goes. For now were gonna go get some dindin, and eat, sleep, then wake up early tomorrow morning and do it all over again. Goodnight Andrew :)

SCOTT:
Hey, Liv, you're stealing all of my lines. Hmmm. OK, another highlight of the day came in Eastern Washington between Quincy and Ephrata, where cow wafted through the car. Not just any cow. A really aromatic cow. We thought maybe we should do a book, call it "smells of the road." a scratch 'n sniff. But sales would probably stink. Liv was right about the drive, though. We've done it so many times that, while scenic and enjoyable, it rarely offers much in the way of new and exciting. There wasn't even enough snow at the top of the pass to have a snowball fight. Sigh. Tomorrow is another day, though, and a long one. Probably close to 700 miles worth of driving as far south into Utah as we can manage before we collapse. Goodnight Andrew...
