Ellensburg-Portland (Wednesday)

I spent most of this day on the road, but did swing back over to Tacoma ro visit the second location of Earth-wise.  It wasn't that great....the Seattle location is much, much better.  As I headed down I-5 toward Portland I felt fortunate to be escaping the Seattle area with only one parking ticket and having run over only one curb!  Not bad!

I stopped in Chehalis to check out their antique district.  I think it would be a great little place to spend the day....cute little places all on one street, but it was getting late so I didn't stay long.  Oh, and watch out for an angry woman in a dark blue car who has never, ever, ever made a mistake while driving.....I know she hasn't because she cast the first stone at me!  Sheesh!

The next stop was Kalama.  There was a large barn with antiques and a few cute shops- but in Kalama they take closing time so seriously....I didn't get to go inside any of them. 

Just before entering Oregon I may or may not have stopped into a little place for a snack hot off the line.  Someplace that rhythms with "Thrispy Threems".....but I'll never tell.

I arrived at David and Melissa Kemples house in the evening.  (Melissa is my neice.)  They have two beautiful children, Christian and Daphne. 


It was great to get in a good visit and see how much the kids have changed.
