Disney Vacation Days Seven and Eight

We left the beautiful weather of California and made it back to Seattle. We decided to try to explore Seattle a bit before leaving it since it's so far away from us and I know I really have no desire to drive back there any time soon.







We went to look at the Space Needle and even go up to the top, but it would've cost us around $60 to just get to the top. That didn't include anything other than riding an elevator. After just spending a small fortune at Disneyland, we decided to hold off on that one.







We did stop at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints Temple before leaving town. It's very pretty. We were a bit surprised at the number of security measures that were established around it--gates and security posts. The neighborhood around the temple didn't look questionable, so it was surprising that so much security may have been needed. Anyone have an idea?


The weather of California was so nice, so we were, of course, thrust into the middle of snowstorms in Washington. We couldn't go faster than 25 mph at one point. We saw one car spin out and the aftermath of an accident. It was not fun. I really liked the weather in CA, even on when it was rainy and we had to wear jackets.



We got as far as Spokane before Josh and I both about dropped dead. We were soooo tired. We left the next morning and stopped at the Cabela's store just outside of Cour d'Alene, Idaho. We got back on the road and got home just in time for Josh to change his clothes and get to work. Needless to say he came home exhausted this morning.





By the way, we finished the first and second Harry Potter books and are well into the third one, just in case you were wondering.

Do you see why I miss the CA weather now?!?

I'm so glad you guys had a good time. Too bad for Josh being so tired and having to work right away. I guess that's what happens though when you go have fun!
