Monday, August 16, 2010 Day 148
Up early, saying goodbye to Candy before she has to go to work. We keep telling her the benefits of retirement, but so far she hasn’t believed us. Too bad for her!
Our restocking of Montana flour stop just o/s of Belgrade
We basically just drove a lot today….made it all the way to Moses Lake. We could have kept going, but it was a great sunny hot day and we wanted to stop at a place with a pool. So we ended up back at the place we started this trip, Suncrest Resort RV, and as soon as we could we went swimming. Good way to cool off. We had our AC turned on in Howie for probably the 3rd time since we bought it. Harris grilled some shrimp and pork kabobs for dinner, we played cards, and hit the sack.
Our stop at the Silver Dollar Casino (and more)
Tuesday, August 17, 2010 Day 149
An easy drive home today. Because the weather was still good, we decided to take the scenic route and headed up highway 2 through Wenatchee. Stevens Pass is much prettier than Snoqualmie. We did see one hairy accident just outside Wenatchee. And just shortly after we went over the pass, we were startled by a low flying small jet that just whizzed by above us. We found out later that night that President Obama had been visiting Seattle, and a small float plane had invaded the no fly zone around Lake Union. So military jets had been scrambled to check out the areas.

We stopped in Monroe for some quick groceries, then made it home by early afternoon. Keith was pleased to see us, as he’s moving to Boston on Friday. Guess we’ll have to plan a trip to the east coast soon!
A scary accident (but with nobody hurt)
