Our First Roadtrip

We began our faithful journey onward towards the coast of pacific northwest towards Buckley, Washington. It was a long 5 1/2 hour drive, from Spokane. Our first road trip longer than the usual 2 1/2 hour weekend journey towards my in-laws we do about once a month or so. But all and all everything with fairly smoothly. And I could hardly wait to see my family, whom I am hardly able to see due to the distance. Road trips with kids is so much harder, with the million stops to pee, and the "are we there yet's", and playing "I spy!" .

Taking a stroll through the gardens.

Just a glimpse of all the fun this adventure was... Oh boy, was it ever the adventure. Anthony and Julessa both will have memories of this trip we all took together for years to come. Chinnook Pass was absolutely breathtaking drive in itself. I am so thankful for my lovely cousins, Tia and Will for letting us stay with them and for joining in some of our shenanigans, like the Point Defiance Zoo trip. Oh was it ever the adventure. So many things to see. Including a ride on a CAMEL! Oh My! O_o
