Days 7-11

Well after the Grand Tetons, we drove to Idaho Falls, ID....then Missoula, MT...then Coure D'Alene, ID. There wasn't much to see other than countryside.







After a couple days of driving through Idaho and Montana and Idaho again, we arrived in Washington. We went to a resort area in Lake Chelan for a couple days and had perfect weather. We stayed at a great place called Grandview for 2 nights. It was right on the lake and they had a cool outdoor pool that we enjoyed. It was nice to stay put for 2 nights in the same place and make all our own meals!









While in the Lake Chelan area, we visited a farm with a petting zoo...




and several wineries and vineyards











This "shark" souvenir store was right next to our hotel at the beach. We had planned to stay in Seattle or Tacoma...somewhere near the Puget Sound, but we kept on driving and ended up at the Ocean! Unfortunately it was cloudy and rainy when we got there and the beach was not very clean....but it was still good to see the Pacific Ocean!


Syd and Kay were thrilled to see this giant snail

and these giant slugs





Finally we arrived in Portland today...on Kevin's 36th birthday! We have one more night in a hotel and will get the key to our rental house in the morning. Hopefully the moving truck will arrive by noon and we'll begin unpacking and getting settled in!
