Meanwhile, across town…

We’re in SEATAC, and about to board our flight.  The forecast shows clear sunny skies Thursday through Sunday!  What more could we ask for?

Jenny could ask for another way to get there.

A slight case of aviophobia at first, but she eventually got on the plane, even with a smile!

 

Red-eye flights are the best!  Except when a passenger brings their small, annoying, yapping dog on board.  An unexpected disturbance to our mid-flight nap at 30,000 feet.

Almost there.  It will be daylight when we land, and we’ll hit the ground running!

 

Time for a scary story…

Wanna hear a scary story?  We’re leaving tomorrow and haven’t even started packing yet!

There’s so much to do, and time is running out.  As many of you already know, the announcements won’t arrive until after we leave.  So we’ll be posting everything here, and will mail out the announcements once we return.

The picture above was taken just south of Mount St. Helens in the Ape Cave, the longest continuous lava tube in the continental United States.  Very dark, and a little cold.  We hiked the whole thing, and stopped along the way for a few fun pics (more pictures later).
