From one corner to the other!

Jul 29, 2008
I am sitting in Issaquah, Washington just outside of Seattle. It is a beautiful day and is a bit cool. Nice change from the heat of Orlando. Today marks four weeks since we left Orlando and here we are in the opposite corner of the US. Time sure flies and it is hard to believe all we have seen and done in that time.We had a great visit in Idaho with our friends there. We had an enjoyable morning hanging out in the park and then driving around Boisie. We hadn't been there before so it was cool to see another city. It was pretty hot though so we were sweating our way around the town. In the afternoon we just chilled and the kids & Bryce swam in the hotel pool. Our hotel was brand new (well in the last year) and the service was fantastic. They had popcorn and cookies for us each day which was a nice touch. Amazing how these small things mean so much!
We drove through southern Idaho to Boisie, from Yellowstone and were very surprized to see how arid and brown it was. I thought Idaho was all green and hilly, but it turns out that is northern Idaho. It was a nice relief to get to the moutains and green of Washington and Oregon. It was a pretty long drive across the countryside, but went pretty quickly.
I was pretty excited to see my brother, Brad and his family (Amal, Josh & Timmy) in Washington. We are having a couple of days together before they keep driving back to Orlando and we continue on to California. We'd not seen each other in two months so it has been nice to catch up. Brad and I had coffee together this morning which was really neat.
Tomorrow we are going to see Seattle and just be tourists!! edit
