Our Return Home

Today was the day of our drive home. It was a sunny and warm day in Kennewick. After our free Super 8 hotel breakfast, we packed up and headed out.

First, we stopped for some sightseeing and birding at Sacajawea State Park at the confluence of the Snake and Columbia rivers in Kennewick. After spotting some white pelicans and other good birds, we went inside the visitor center and toured through the Sacajawea, Lewis and Clark exhibits there. Then we drove around a while in Paso and Kennewick to get a feel for the cities.

Sometime around noon we started the drive home. It was a busy Sunday coming over Snoqualmie Pass on I-90, with lots of cars and construction clogging up the road and making it stop-and-go driving. But our audio book made it bearable. After a long afternoon of driving, we were happy to see Issaquah again about 6 p.m. But it was a great trip showing us amazing western sights and providing many good memories.
