cross-country trip day 1: bellevue, wa to winthrop, wa
We left Bellevue late this morning, and set out on the first leg of our cross-country adventure. On the nights that I have internet access (and energy), I’ll try to post about our day.
Today’s drive was nothing short of spectacular. We took SR-20 through North Cascades National Park, and loved every minute of it. We took our time, stopped for a picnic lunch along the way, and ended up at our destination—the delightfully quaint “old west” town of Winthrop, Washington. We’re staying at The Virginian, in a cute little cabin that has air conditioning, separate beds for the boys, and even—much to our surprise—free wifi! Everyone’s in good spirits, though we’re a bit tired from driving and walking.
Tomorrow will be a longer driving day, with an as-yet unknown stopping point (I’m guessing somewhere around Butte, Montana, but we’ll see how we do during the day).
