in Seattle

We made it! Actually, we arrived on Sunday at about 3:30 and have been here for awhile. The extended stay Studio 6 apartment is fine, and we have unpacked some of the car. Alison's friend Ingrid invited us over for soup last night, although I think we were not great dinner companions. Then we loaded up on a few supplies from the nearby grocery and turned in. Both of us slept better last night. The total mileage for the trip was just a bit under 3000 miles, but overall it went very smoothly.

Yesterday's route was pretty familiar to both of us, since we made the trip from Seattle to Missoula several times while living here. We drove across in a fairly steady rain, not hard, but consistent. And it was cold-- we were in our summer clothes and were not ready for temperatures in the 60s. At one rest stop, we saw woman walking around wrapped in her bath robe, so we were not the only ones unprepared.

We have a list of apartments to check out today, so it is time to get moving. It is great to be back in Mariners country, especially when they are in the middle of the pennant race.
