Day 17 – Going WESTTT in a covered wagon

This morning we left Grandpa’s house and headed back to Pike Place for the third time. We love that place, except for its lack of parking spots. Each of us got a beautiful tulip and then we went across the street to get a baguette and some cheese to make a nice French picnic lunch. Then we tried some signature Seattle coffee at Tulley’s rather than Starbucks. Yummm. Lo’s uncle provided us with a free oil change and then we headed out on the road to Portland. The three hour drive was a nice change from the usual 8 and 9 hour drives. When we got to Portland we made Lo’s sister, Katrina, walk 20 blocks with all her luggage to get to the car because we couldn’t find the train station. The weather in Portland was gloomy so we decided to stay in for the night. After getting some great endorphins from the exercise room at the hotel we ordered pizza and had a chill recovery night to gear up for the amazing drive down the West Coast this week!!!!!

Peace Love,

- Lo, D, Eliz, Kat

       “For as high as the heavens are above the earth, 
       so great is his love for those who fear him;

       as far as the east is from the west, 

       so far has he removed our transgressions from us.” Psalm 103:11-12
