Where'd We Go?

So. Mom left off blogging more than a week ago. Me: How come you left off blogging? She: Well, it was so time consuming. It took me a couple of hours to do a post. Me: Why don't you make simpler posts? She: Oh, no, I can't do that. So. Briefly, we went to Olympia, Washington. Our children and their spouses/whatevers joined us at a rental house on a Puget Sound inlet. We went to a wedding. We went other places, such as Seattle, and Mt St Helens. If we're lucky, Mom will make blog posts about these things as time permits. This morning, we left for home at 7:30 PST. We drove about 800 miles over 11 hours drive time. There was an additional hour of stoppage time (for all you soccer fans). We arrived at the Super 8 in Big Timber MT, at 8:30 pm MT. We averaged about 72 MPH and 18 MPG for the day. Montana is staggeringly beautiful.
