I didn't have time to say good-bye really...we were so tired from packing and cleaning all day, that when it was time to go, we just popped into the cars and left...
I had called Gigi earlier and asked her if we could spend the night at their house as we were in no shape to drive 5 hours...so we headed over to Seattle and had a lovely dinner waiting for us along with a very comfy bed...I was too wound up to sleep, but managed to eventually.
In the morning, we had a leisurely breakfast, and around 10:30, said our good-byes.
Gigi, in all her wonderfulness, made a little snack pack for each of us...we put the boy in the car, and we headed east.
The drive was pretty non-eventful...Owen did great...he rode with me for a couple of hours, then we stopped at a truck stop, bought a sandwich for lunch and sat on one of the only patches of grass available to eat!
Owen rode with Joe the rest of the way, and I entertained myself with random shots of the highway/scene/Joe pulling the U-Haul while listening to Christian stations, hard rock, and at last, my beloved NPR...
(You can see Owen in the passenger side waving!)Then, at some point, 6 hours after we pulled away from Gigi and Victor's driveway, Spokane was in view.
I felt really happy to be here...the excitement of the unknown...new city...new friends...new house...and most importantly, the three of us being together again.
