Washington Trip 2014

We had a wonderful time in Washington for Thanksgiving.  We drove up on Wednesday morning, leaving very early and driving all day.  I drove the entire trip and it took us 15 1/2 hours with stops and traffic.  The way home we left Saturday night, drove through the night, and it took us 12 hours.  It was much nicer with kids asleep, no bathroom stops, and no traffic to contend with.  We loved seeing Grandma and Grandpa's new house in Everett and they were very accommodating to us.  We even got to see cousin Ryan who just graduated from basic training and is stationed in Washington for the next 3 years.  As always, the food was delicious and the trip too short.
