Summer's over

To beat the Labor Day traffic we packed up and head for home on Sunday. This was perfect for me because I was stressed about the things I still needed to get done before school started on Tuesday. It also worked out pretty good that I had my own car. I flew home!

Beautiful day, wide open highway, radio tuned just the way I like it.

It has been an amazing summer spent on the road, one trip after another. Can't wait to get out on the road for my next adventure!

Lake Kachess

When I arrived Rob was blasted drunk. He had obviously been drinking most of the day. It's funny to see because he slurs his words and can't walk straight. 

My favorite thing about his being drunk is his smile. He actually smiles a real smile, not just a smirk.

We went down to see the lake when I arrived. It is a beautiful place. The water is kind of low this year compared to some of the years we've seen in the past.

The weather wasn't great over the weekend so we didn't spend a lot of time on the lake. I did get a good run in Saturday morning. I also spent some time on the shore with my laptop before the sprinkles started coming down too hard.

Finally on my way, but will I ever get there?

I took advantage of the quiet in the house Friday morning and slept in. Then I got in a work out and packed all the things the boys forgot. I realized I forgot something at school I needed to work on over the weekend so that was my next stop before heading out of town.

I was still looking to arrive at Lake Kachess by 5pm so I wasn't too concerned.

I thought it was weird that I had driven all the way to North Bend but GPS still said I had 1hour 20minutes to go. 

I hit the Starbucks for a boost of caffeine tea and the XM radio had a live GoGo's concert playing so I was happy as can be. Although I was going 80mph most of the time my ETA kept getting later and later. I was baffled until I hit the wall.

It took me an extra hour and 30 minutes to go 25 miles. 

See ya later

This was the view I got of my family leaving without me for Labor Day weekend.

Life is rough when it's Thursday afternoon before a holiday weekend and you are stuck staying home for Open House at your school job while the rest of the family heads to the lake without you.
