Day 37 - Lots of things to see - Kennewick, WA to White Salmon, WA via Hwy 14

Monday, June 27, 2016...  I think it is Monday anyway. What a full day of smiles and miles of travel. I worked a bit in the morning and when I went out to the diningroom,  George and our Hosts were already dining on breakfast,  I was a bit embarrassed.  I was so involved in my work I didn't even hear what was happening in the next room. I was working on the floor and my feet fell asleep.   Verna had made us quiche with onion, pepper, egg, cheese and hashbrowns that was very tasty.  (I had two slices)  She also served fruit (bing cherries are in season right now and the nectarines came from their own tree) and she served some homemade orange-cranberry muffins that were superb.  I wanted more, but already I have noticed my shorts are a more snug than when we started this journey 37 days ago. Below is a better picture of our hosts wood work slider in front of his TV.  He showed us a beautiful bowl that should be in an art gallery.  Awesome people, awesome talent and driv

Day-0... Get ready

The fridge is cleaned out.  The items to load into the car are mostly packed and sitting on the living room floor. Tomorrow we launch our 3-month awesomely amazing adventure in celebration of our 40th wedding anniversary.  George was diagnosed with dementia, possibly Alzheimer's last year, I have planned this trip as our "last hurrah" together. The goals: Enjoy the journey .  Don't just push to the next destination, but enjoy the people, the sites, the experiences along the way; Have so much fun that we don't get homesick for our friends and neighbors back home; Keep the costs down!  3 months is a long time on the road, and we aren't camping.  We are staying with Evergreenclub members (a travel club) and with friends and family... A couple of Air bnb's, a KOA or two, an occasional discount motel.  Picnics instead of restaurants as much as we can while still making an occasional restaurant visit to experience a town. Ride new trails a
