A week later


Before lunch in Cottonwood we visited with friends that we used to teach with while at Prairie High School. Next stop was the liquor store for some White Christmas which is the best in Tom and Jerry's or egg nog and Washington doesn't carry it. We drove by the house and snapped a photo. It looks good all repainted and cared for. Seven joined us for lunch. It was great to see all of these friends once again.

We made a rather large cheese haul at Ferdinands Creamery on the WSU campus. Of course, you can't stop without getting ice cream too!

Don won the bet as we stayed in Moses Lake. There was a beautiful sunset lasting from Ritzville to ML. A fitting end to our trip. We got an early start Saturday morning and were home by 10. Home looked awfully good! Had to take a picture of the mail pile!!

We saw so many things and did so much that it will take awhile to process it all. Thank goodness that I have this blog to look at and an expense account that tells where we were each night. If you are going to do any traveling, write things down as you won't remember where you saw something.

We put 11,000 miles on the car which is about a years worth. While we enjoyed the trip and all that we did, it got a little long. I would go back to New England again, but maybe for shorter periods of time. There are parts of every state that we didn't see. For the most part, the large cities weren't explored.

We saw so many family and friends along the way that enriched the travel and gave us a break from motels. We thank you all for your hospitality.

For now, I will work on captioning the pictures and reliving the memories. Thank you for reading the blog. Knowing that people were waiting to see what we were doing, kept me writing.
