We wanted to be in Moses Lake tomorrow afternoon for Mark's wedding. It's not until four in the afternoon and it's about a five hour plus drive. We could have driven over tomorrow and been there in plenty of time -- and we could have turned around and come right back. And many years ago we would probably done just that!
But, that's a lot of driving for us in one day anymore. I was not sure how my messed up ankle would tolerate that much time without being elevated... First we made a reservation at the Holiday Inn Express for Saturday night after the wedding. Then we thought about it some more and decided to go ahead and make a reservation for Friday night as well.
We didn't leave real early and we made a couple of stops along the way. It's been a beautiful, sunny, HOT day and the drive through the Columbia Gorge was gorgeous. The Welcome to Washington sign was such a sight to see! On arrival, my ankle was a little bit swollen, but I sat with it elevated for a bit and it came right down, We made a big splurge this evening and walked across the parking lot and street to eat dinner at Denny's.
It was a really big day back in Oregon. Daughter Dawn and Son-in-law Todd signed the papers and received the keys to their new home in Keizer!
