We leave Missoula early. Drive through more mountains on I-90...and drive through northern Idaho. We passed through it pretty quickly. We get to Spokane, WA and stop for lunch at a McDonald's that's also a gas station. The people were friendly but the McDonald's should have been bigger for the amount of business they got. The architecture in Spokane is BEAUTIFUL. McDonald's had a couple pictures hanging up of how a couple of the old streets looked and even from I-90 there are a ton of towering buildings and gorgeous churches and steeples just popping into the sky. So far a lot of Washington landscape seems a lot like Wisconsin's. Spokane reminds us a little of Milwaukee.
We decide to get off I-90 after we've well passed the mountains. We take some back roads and the scenery is hilly and then flat...and then...desert?? It seems like we should be in Nevada or Arizona by the looks of it...and just as we remarked about it, Tumbleweed blew across the road in front of us. We laughed pretty hard and took a picture of the scenery and had people try to guess what state we were in. No one guessed we were in Washington.
We made it to Yakima, WA by 5pm PDT. It's weird being 2 hours behind our "normal" time! We watched Conan while it was sunny. Now we're just chillin' at a Motel 6. Being in a car for so long (even though it's really not doin' much) is still tiring.
Love Always & Forever,
