After packing the car, we drove 40 minutes north to Glacier National Park. It is incredible up there. I'd like to come back and stay for days and days. The lake is amazing, the mountains inspiring. I was doing the driving, with Jim in the back with the kids and Molly up front with me. It was fun!
We had to leave after just a few hours so that we would get to Spokane in time for supper with my uncle Peter and the family. First, we got to drive down what may have been the most beautiful roads that I've had the pleasure of driving. Route 28 in Montana, I'm talking about you. Though Route 135 was no slouch either! We drove through Idaho right on in to Washington. It was a great stretch of road that I won't soon forget.
We arrived at the Spokane Valley Mall just after 5pm and met up with Peter and Chris and Daggett girls Calie, Monica and Autumn. It was our first time meeting the girls we've been hearing about their whole lives. It was about time! Dinner was great, but the conversation and company were the highlights. Thanks for driving all the way down to meet us, Pete! It was wonderful!
We now rest our heads in Kennewick, Washington, and set our sights on Eugene, Oregon tomorrow. In the meantime, here are a few iPhone pictures. Better ones will come soon!
So awesome! And I'm jealous you got to hang out with the Daggetts. The mountains look awesome. I could live there.
