Chris was told that this was a beautiful drive. Since we don't know when this beautiful weather will end we decided Saturday was as good a day as any to make this trip. We packed the dog and some food in the Jeep (which we paid off today!).
We took Interstate 5 up to the 20 and then took that East.
We stared off the trip listening to a little John Cougar Mellencamp. Lola doesn't seem to be a fan.
After the Greatest Hits we put in the O Brother Where Art Thou soundtrack. That seemed to cheer her up a bit.
This is on the 5 heading North.
This is at the National Park up there.
Somewhere near here you are supposed to be able to see the salmon running, but we couldn't find any.
These tiny mushrooms were so cute.
On the way there and back we passed Concrete.
It was a beautiful, peaceful drive. Lola was really good, just relaxing in the back. We saw several hawks while driving, one that kept pace with us for a while. It is so different to see them in the wild rather than in a zoo, or on a show. I also saw a bald eagle preening itself by the side of the river. It was so amazing. A friend of ours said she sees them up in Bothell. I had no idea you could see them in the wild. And so close to our house (well a few hours close). It was really amazing.
All in all a very nice trip.
ah, that looks like a lovely little trip you all took, "big becky"! :-) how are you guys? and where exactly are you at these days?
