Washington!!!

This weekend we drove up to Washington to pick up Natalie. We drove and drove and drove. We decided to take a new route to see the sites, .....we saw them for 12 hours. Ugh! We stopped in Cambridge on the way up and stayed in a delightful little motel there, with a pool. Barry's student owns the place so we were treated to a free night's stay, a barbecue dinner, and some sightseeing. We even toured the local grocery store which they just had purchased. Sorry we have no pictures, I was feeling pretty rotten, well actually super-duper rotten by then.





On the way there, we got out of the car because Ellie puked. It's always good to get some fresh air after that. I believe this picture is .........in the middle of nowhere.



James tired and dirty







Ellie going crazy



Seriously crazy



Camping lite. Barry thought we didn't even need ketchup for the dogs. I insisted. We had no plates or anything. I didn't pay much attention to the packing of the camping stuff because I planned the whole time to talk Barry out of camping and stay at a motel somewhere along the way. I lost out, due to shear lack of effort due to intense car sickness. Things were okay though, and I got to try out our brand-b-new tent. It arrived in the mail last week. Barry said it was hand sewn just for us.(big yea) The other campers thought it was a Tee-pee.



James rejecting snacks. Pretty sad day.






James puzzled. After yelling STOP DAD! STOP over and over, Dad would just keep on driving, and driving and driving. (Can you tell I don't travel well)



A smile from my boy.



Kids going crazy.



Last half and hour I pulled out all the stops, and broke out the suckers. They were a lifesaver. Truly.



My favorite picture from our adventure. I love my sweet family.
