Road Trip!

On Sunday morning, Todd and I left in his truck to drive up to WA.  Just a short little 15 hour road trip.  Ha!  Some might call us crazy, but for me it was an adventure I needed to take.  The drive up was quite enjoyable and the time actually passed pretty quickly.  Here we are when we finally got to Washington.  Don't be deceived though, we probably had at least five more hours to go.

 I was grateful to get there and get out at Todd's parents new little place.  It's really cute and they are very nice company.  It made being there instantly feel like home.  And speaking of home, I finally got to see mine the next morning:

The inside is just right.  I was surprised at how just right it was.  It's really meant to be our house.  I felt so comfortable inside that I could have just stayed all day.  The yard is enormous and quite lovely.  We will enjoy two cherry trees, three apple trees, and two pear trees.  I'm excited to make applesauce again!  And pies!

 Being there settled my nerves and made me feel happy.  I even laughed about the neighbors really loud roosters.  We will see if I still am when I live there.  But seriously, it just felt good.

 The area is just beautiful.  Lot of trees and lots of farmland.  Dairy farms, corn fields, berry farms.  It feels slower and quiet and peaceful.  Here is what part of the drive to my house looks like.  And about that much traffic too.  It's really lovely.

 Todd and I also enjoyed going to Whatcom Falls Park, one of my favorite places on this planet.

 We had some good meals with Todd's parents and more good visiting.  And then the next morning we left for home.  We got up with the sun, and were still driving to watch it set.  The drive home was much harder than the drive there.  My back revolted.  But it will recover and it was totally worth it.

I'm glad I know now where I'm going.
