Ohhh my Lord, That was a long trip. Last Wednesday night at 8PM My wife and I left Idaho Falls heading for Kalamah Washington. Seven hundred and fifty miles, and Tweleve hours, and one timezone later we got there. I drove nine of those hours and managed to show up in Portland OR just in time for the morning commute.
Then we slept for a few hours and went to visit one of my wifes friends 20 miles up the road who had just had a baby then we did some shopping, hopped over to Oregon and bought some Everclear) and headed back to where we where staying.Lucky Lucky me I got to spend a few hours playing my Wii on a 60 inch TV. It was wonderful, Link was beautiful, Elebits were adorable, and trauma center was even grosser than normal.
Friday I got to play some more wii, then we went back to Kelso, Picked up My wifes half-brother for the night, and then went 50 mile back the other way to visit her mother in Vancouver. While I and her brother walked around the mall (I think I visited about 10 EB Games/EB/Gamestops on this trip). Suncoast was having a killer deal on Anime but unfortunately dind't have anything I reallllly wanted. Then back to Kalamah for dinner and gaming.
In the morning it was 20 to Kelso to drop off her brother, 50 to vancouver to visit her parents for lunch, and then her aunt. and then 30 miles back to Kalamah for bed.
Sunday we drove a hundred and 150 some odd miles up to Poulsbo to visit with my Aunt for three hours and then back to Kalamah. That night I got to play a few hours on tales of Eternia for the PSP.
Monday I got to spend a few more hours with my good friend the Wii, mostly playing Zelda A Link to the Past. Then because I'm an Idiot I decided I wanted to go to Portland and see a really big mall. We checked out Mall 205 which is completely dead, but had a nice little Asian place that does the food up fresh . Then We went to the Loyde Center which is a Three story mall but the third story is all professional offices and an Apollo College. We has some spiffy ice-cream there. Then up to Kelso and Rainer to visit another of My wifes relatives This time her Uncle and Cousin, We visited a few more of her cousins on the way back to Kalamah and then packed to head home.
Tuesday we got up a 4:30 am left at 5 stopped in Vancouver to say bye to her parents and then drove until 8 when we got the Dalles, stopped at a cool store there, and ate breakfast, Then it was 300 miles to Boise where we stopped at the TownSquare mall and had dinner, now THAT was Big Mall. Incidentally, the Spencer's Gifts there, is the most "Adult" oriented Sencer's that I've ever been in. They have stuff there that I can't even get at the local Lingerie and "marital aid" store!. In anycase we got back into IF by 10 stopped at my parents and were Home By eleven.
And that is why I am exhausted.
