We're here

It was quite a long trip up but so far we are happy.  This morning when we finally got up for breakfast at 8:00 it was 58° nice.

We left John at STL a little after 3:00 pm Missouri time and we arrived in Seattle near 8:00 pm pdt, still daylight.  When we left Seattle a bit after 9:00 pm pdt it was already dark.  After a while the sky looked liked a sundown with an orange glow on the horizon and the further north we got the sky continued to lighten until it was bright and we were looking down on the white clouds.  It was around 12:30 am adt (5:30 am Missouri time) when we got our checked bag at the terminal.  I called our hotel for a transportation shuttle and was informed that at that hour we would need to just catch a taxi and the motel would pay the cabbie.  The only problem was that there were several folks waiting for cabs but not many were there.  We had to wait nearly an hour and it was almost 2:00 am when we finally got to bed.

Today is mostly a day of rest from the traveling but we do have reservations for this evening for a Salmon bake located at a park with other museum attractions so should be fun.  I plan to get out a bit later and get some pictures around our resort which is camera worthy.  I  will post some photos later.

Here are a few pictures that I took this morning around the Lodge.  There are many individual cabins and all with a hanging basket of live pretty flowers at each one.  There also is a connected campground.
