Last night was spent across the freeway from the Seattle Temple. First we spent a couple of hours unwinding before we headed to Deseret Books. After denting the budget and beefing up our library, CD and DVD collections we headed off for dinner at Applebee's. Thanks to a gift card for Gary and Doris, much of the cost of dinner was covered. The internet at the hotel was excruciatingly slow, so I didn't get to any blogging.
After an early but restless night for me. . .my thermostat started acting up around 3am. . .Ron and I got up early and headed for the Temple. We got there to find that the maintenance dates posted online were erroneous (or we somehow misinterpreted them) and the Temple was actually closed.
We ended-up hitting the road a bit earlier than we had originally thought we would and I think our band of travellers were just ahead of a big wind storm once again. We had toyed with the idea of visiting Sean, Desiree and Alexis in the lower mainland on our way through, but they were busy today and we couldn't quite make it work this time. We will try to get down there in a few weeks when the weather is a bit more conducive for travel.
We had clear sailing at the border, I think it took us about 5 minutes total to clear it. . There appeared to be a bit of a back-up headed south, though.
I'm not sure the kids will be able to locate all of their "church gear" in the morning and we are supposed to be there for the morning session tomorrow. This place is total chaos (imagine that!) . . .the kids are so tired we have several long faces and short tempers flaring around here. The trailer is still hitched and mostly unloaded. We will finish that in slow motion in the the daylight tomorrow. I think Ron may be going by himself to church so the kids can get rested and organized for the upcoming week and I will stay here and try to keep the peace.
