Road Trip!

Driving to Ellensburg

One would think that after having moved all the way across the country only two days ago, we would be sick of moving around. NO WAY!! Today we took a short road trip on I-90 through the Cascade Range to Ellensburg. Ellensburg is the home of Central Washington University, where Auntie Pea will be auditioning next week.

The 90-minute drive was incredibly beautiful. We climbed from the Seattle area (sea level) to Snoqualmie Pass, which is at an elevation of 3,022 feet. The trees were enormous and covered with snow, which was several feet thick in some places.

Nora is going through a temper tantrum stage now and throws a screaming fit every once in a while. We were treated to another one on the way home this afternoon. I think this will improve once we settle into a routine over the next few days.
