We left Ocean Shores this morning. It was sad to go. Our vacation went by way too quickly… plus it meant that we had to get back into the car again-- for the next 3 days (uuuuggghhhh!) I don’t necessarily like the “car time”, but I sure enjoy making memories with my family. I wish we had money to go on vacations together more often. It costs WAY too much to travel with a family this size. We cut costs where we could (I don’t think anyone will want a ham and cheese sandwich for quite some time). It took a REALLY long time to save the money we needed on this trip (it was supposed to be used for a new couch ). It cost a lot, but it was worth it-- hopefully I will remember that as I sit on our old couch for the next few years.

A very windy park in Morton, WA-- where we ate lunch.
Mount Rainier

We drove all day, and ended in Yakima, WA. We stayed at the Fairfield. They earned a 9 overall (we bumped them up 1 point for having a Book of Mormon in the room drawer), and the free breakfast got a 10. It was also the only hotel so far with HBO. Incidentally, it was also the most expensive hotel-- you get what you pay for.

Looking at your pictures of Washington, especially Mt. Rainier made me a little homesick. When I was a little kid a road trip to Mt. Rainier WAS our family vacation. I grew up close to Yakima in Kennewick, WA. I bet you wished you could live there when you drove through...right? Ya...I didn't think so. But the rivers were fun for boating.
