I got delayed leaving because Dee needed me to take care of something. It was past 1:30pm when I left home to head to Uwajimaya in Bellevue for stuff that Sam needed. I also picked up other stuff for the kids and for me to snack on on the road. I got a long roll of salmon sushi, wrapped in a plastic wrap, for lunch. And it was very yummy.
It was 3pm when I left Bellevue and headed towards I-90 east. Since it was a Friday of a holiday weekend, I figured I'd hit traffic if I took I-5 towards Portland, so I decided to take the smaller highways.
The trip was fairly uneventful. It was hot, but I've driven through worse heat before. I stopped at a rest area near Cle Elum, about 20 miles before Hwy 85, which took me to Hwy 97. It was a long drive with few rest areas and even fewer gas stations. But the scenery was well worth the trip. I didn't stop again until I got to Madras, OR. It was after 8pm. I got gas, and a very late dinner at the McDonald's across the street. Then it was only another 45 minutes to Sam's.
After playing with my 6-year-old nephew and my year-old niece (she likes me!), I washed up and got to bed at 1am; I shared my nephew's bed. I must have been very tired because I had strong dreams. I think it's been a while since I've had strong dreams like that.
