SpringVegLA2016: Vancouver to Vegas

Day 1: Vancouver to Langley to Kennewick, Washington.

Stayed in the Super 8 with an indoor pool. Got up and went for a run. It was colder than I thought. I had a t-shirt on. (RunPod was not charged and ran in silence. Saw a gun range, Cannon, Windsor Plywood - pick up trucks... and a beautiful sunrise.) Went back in. Went for a swim and had breakfast. It started raining. Wrote a quick message to Auntie Mary and Uncle Pat:

Guess what?

We are in Kennewick. I just got back from a run. I passed a gun range called hole in the wall. I hear uncle Pat, you lived here. Not a bad little hole in wall - wink wink!

See you in April :-)

And they responded:

Hi Paula

Yes we were there for about 18 months. Significant events included Pat being born in Kadlac Methodist hospital in Richland down the road and your Dad shooting the rattlesnake in the hills. We lived in the 4700 block Quinualt, my office was in Angus square and Mary sold her Alpine there. If we were there could give you the tour. Have fun.

See you in Bellingham.

Love

Uncle Pat and Aunt Mary

Day 2: Kennewick, Washington to Twin Falls, Idaho

Stayed in the Shilo Inn - more swimming!

Twin Falls reminds me of a song that Lori and I used to listen to:

Day 3: Twin Falls, Idaho to Ely.. no way!! .. Las Vegas!!!

We were going to stop in Ely, Nevada - and then take one more day to drive to Las Vegas - but have you seen Ely? Ghost town!! You might not make it out alive in the morning. AND the wind!! There was not swimming in that outdoor pool that looked so nice on your website. So - we booked it and made it to Vegas. We were so HAPPY!!! (to get out of the car and shake our rumpaaaa!!)

The Tuscany - our marriage hotel - we are back! Here are some pics from the trip so far:

Fries fix the broken tacks.

JAX Beach Summer School 2018

Our summer adventure began by leaving Frank Hurt a week early, the same time as the students. We drove to Bellingham and stayed at the hotel by the Slo Pitch. We had snacks and went swimming. Step one: Get through the border was done. The next mission was to make it through the Seattle traffic. We also stopped off at Bellis Fair and got a new hat for Big Boy as he left his in grandma's basement before we left.

In Seattle we stayed by the airport and found Angle Lake. It has a beach, BBQ spots, a play park, and a water park... and washrooms. I didn't have my suit on this time, because we thought it was just a water park, but next time, I am jumping in. Big Boy didn't want to go in without me.

We watched the weather forecast closely to make sure we would have some nice days in Seaside. We had until Friday to cancel. The weather looked good until the day we left so we went for it. The morning we woke up to leave (Tuesday), the weather app changed and gave us two bad days. Too late now! Off we went to Seaside. Carrie was already on her way but we did get an earlier start that I thought we would. We left at 7am. Here is the boy before we left - sad faced and with Bear.
The City Center Motel. We were in unit 1 beside the pool. This was a great unit for us. Number 6 on the other side of the pool looks nice too. I thought we were going to miss having the little cottage one - but this was much nicer because the boy could have his bath.
Tuesday, we arrived and headed straight to the beach to play. We did wave jumping, beach bowling, and we made some roads and tunnels. Christian found a buddy his age and they had a great time chasing each other and playing.

Carrie found us! She …

End of Summer Adventures aka: Running Away from Project "FIX THE PATIO"

Bellingham Well, this sucks... they are jack hammering outside our patio door. We better run away. Where can we go? Let's go to Bellingham and then back to Seattle and go swim in that lake again.

Seattle It was super hot the day we got to Seattle... we decided to wait to go to the lake until the next day... and it started raining?! One day we will spend the day at the lake and make a bbq. We did the second best thing and took the train to the city. Christian loves the train.

Whistler We came home and got a nice bamboo fence to block out the views, bring us some shade, and give us some security.

But.. the drilling continued on Monday... and got closer! Off to Whistler.
