measurable rain in 29 days.
The rest of the family is chipper but last night I was very sad. The
reasons to accept the transfer to Boston are still valid. However,
actually ripping up all those roots is painful. I moved home to
Seattle from Boston 12 years ago this month and thought I would never
leave again. The phase of my life between then and now has been
incredibly good and I mourn the end of it And I feel guilty taking
the girls out of their loving family milieu.
But now we're finally on the road and I feel better. We're presently
passing through Spokane. We've been driving six hours and Audrey and
Charlotte are in good spirits and having fun. The Vanagon has a rear-
facing seat where Carol or I can sit and play games with the girls.
Carol spent the morning there making collars ("freindship bracelet"
style) for the girls' lovies so they can self-retrieve them when they
inevitably drop them.
Ruby (our van) was hesitating going over Snoqualmie Pass. We think it
was bad gas. We put in some premium in Ellensburg and she is happy
again.
We crossed our first state line as I typed this post (on my phone) -
into Idaho. Next stop: Missoula.
