Outta the gray and into the blue!
Gray skies over Seattle
We’re on the road again and Harris is oh so happy! We left the house around 11 which is pretty typical for us. As we headed out of Seattle over Snoqualmie Pass we kept telling ourselves that pretty soon we’ll be able to leave the cool gray weather behind us. You’d think that after a glorious 30+ days of no rain and 70+ degree days we wouldn’t mind a few cloudy days, but we’ve become spoiled. As we headed over the pass and saw our first light blue sky we chortled and pointed.
Judy at rest stop with less gray skies!

Our spirits rose yet some more as we listened to the Mariners game as we cruised eastward toward the heat. The Mariners scored 2 runs in the first and despite many walks and Baltimore having the bases loaded with no outs twice during the next 8 innings the M’s had a lead of 3-0 going into the ninth. The closer, David Aardsma with only 1 blown save, entered… and then the baseball gods decided to have some fun. Three errors , 2 walks, and 1 unbelieving Dave Niehaus stamped the worst game of the year. Harris was glad that we at least had the sun radiating warmth and happy yellow rays to dispel the ickiness of the Mariner game. The Mariners ended up losing 5-2 in the ninth.

We stopped for the night outside Granger, Idaho in a RV park along highway 95 called Bear Den. Seems very nice.
Now, as you read this, do you think this is a travel blog or a Mariner game blog?

Your son is wondering how the m's were up 3-0, then lost 2-5.
I mean, they're bad, but they're not THAT bad...
Beautiful photos! But your son has a point... at least they're not the Nationals!
