Ten Hours Later

(please say the title of this post in the Sponge Bob Square Pants French narrator voice)

Today we left Portland for our beloved ten hour drive down the coast to Reno. Before leaving, Sydney suggested

that I go and take a looksey at the Portland, OR temple. What a wondrous temple. It has so many spires, and it's so

covered in trees there that you don't see it until you drive around the corner… I love that about up here, so many

trees. We had a long day, but a terrific start at that.

other highlights: sending off more postcards to friends and family; driving through the many forests of California; having it be scorching

hot when we left Washington, and then super rainy while driving through California; getting into Nevada sooner than planned; finding out

that our hotel was super Neon since we spotted it from very far away; getting to sleep in hotel beds with all that heavenly bedding.
