This weekend I am in Seattle with Nick. I couldn’t mention it before we left because he was surprising his mom for Mother’s Day. This picture is from Vantage, a traditional stopping spot by the Columbia River on the route from Pullman. The drive was uneventful, except for running over a tumbleweed and getting caught in a baby dust devil.

We’re heading back to the Eastern part of the state Tuesday, after visiting Nick’s families, friends and old haunts. It feels like vacation to me.
