Somewhere between Boise and Puyallup

Driving Day
We're excited to go to our new house!
I started out following Greg, but it stressed me out too much, so the kids & I went ahead. We stopped so many times, that even though he was going a lot slower than us, we only beat him by 20 minutes!

Thanks to movies and food, there wasn't a lot of this... The kids did so good...they were way more patient and content than I was. :)

Maren slept for a bit (maybe 1 1/2 hours)

Joel "rested his eyes" for a while...

and then looked out the window with his binoculars

Almost there! We timed it really bad with Seattle traffic, so it took us probably an hour to get there from this point (we also had to stop 2, or was it 3 times? to go potty in the last stretch).
After 11 hours in the car, we made it!! We stayed that night with Todd & Tab and their girls Madeline & Julia. The kids got all their energy out by running around the backyard for a couple of hours. Then we had dinner, and little mini ice cream cones for dessert. A great end to a hard day!
