Driving away from Tahoe to Seattle
The day before we left Tahoe, Thursday night, we had to drop “Tank” -our retriever/labrador dog off at a colleagues house. Driving away was sad and that evening due to the strain of work, late nights, lack of sleep, and saying goodbyes, the reality of leaving was actually setting in. The kids had a hard night. Friday, leaving day, did not go as planned – school was closed due to the storm – so final goodbyes did not happen at school. Josh benefitted the most in that he was able to connect with friends and go skiing at Sierra. Driving away that afternoon was an odd feeling for all. For Natalie, she really felt she was leaving “home”. Usually, she always is thinking that pastures are greener somewhere else. We picked up Josh at Sierra and drove to the Bay Area to see friends. We left their on Sunday morning for our 16 hr straight drive to Poulsbo (on the Peninsula)- I just always say Seattle but it isn’t. The drive was going great with respect to time despite driving through snow, wind, and rain over the passes. We hit Portland and it all went haywire. The usual drive from Portland to Seattle is 3.5 hrs. It took us 8 hours due to snow and ice. Orgon and Washington are not set up for snow like California and Tahoe. We were on the road for 20 hours straight. We arrived at Natalies folks house only to be welcomed to a power outage. We had no heat for 2.5 days. We all sat around in snow cloths and hats. Because of all this – Natalie and Josh got colds, Tim’s is beginning, and Annika woke up with fevers today. Not the best way to finalize all plans. No matter what – it all “officially” starts on Tuesday Dec30th – flying to Singapore will take 17 hours.

It sounds like you had an “adventure” road trip. I could not believe how Seattle got pounded with snow. I felt bad for everyone.
I’m originally from OH, so I know how to handle snow, sleet, rain, ice, hail, etc… I now live in AZ and people “freak out” if it rains — it’s a good thing I can drive in all sorts of weather:) I hope you’re enjoying your trip!
Ok, I have your blog on my laptop. Hopefully we can stay in touch.
REply if you see this, Tim/Nat, and then we can stay in touch through messageing as well as read of your trip.
Hi superb blog! Does running a blog similar to this take a large
amount of work? I have very little knowledge of
computer programming but I had been hoping to start my own blog in the near future.
Anyway, should you have any suggestions or tips for new blog owners please
share. I know this is off topic nevertheless I just needed to ask.
Thanks!
Amazing! Its actually amazing paragraph, I have got much clear idea regarding from
this post.
I think the admin of this web site is genuinely working
hard in favor of his site, for the reason that here every stuff is
quality based material.
Fantastic blog you have here but I was wanting to know if you
knew of any forums that cover the same topics discussed in this article?
I’d really like to be a part of online community where I can get opinions from other experienced individuals
that share the same interest. If you have any recommendations, please let me know.

I always spent my half an hour to read this weblog’s articles every day along with a
cup of coffee.

I think everything published was very logical.
However, what about this? suppose you wrote a catchier post title?
I am not saying your content isn’t good, however suppose you added
a headline to possibly get people’s attention? I mean Driving away from Tahoe
to Seattle » TravelBlog Archive » Tahoe Johnson’s Journey to Southeast Asia is
a little vanilla. You ought to peek at Yahoo’s home page and watch how they create article titles to grab
viewers to open the links. You might add a video
or a picture or two to get people interested about everything’ve
written. Just my opinion, it might make your blog a little bit more interesting.
Post writing is also a excitement, if you be familiar with after that you can write or
else it is complicated to write.
At this time it sounds like Expression Engine is the best blogging platform
available right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what
you’re using on your blog?
Everything is very open with a really clear description of the challenges.
