We woke at about 4:00 AM.

Okay, to be honest, Dan’s alarm went off at 4:00, so he woke up then. Mine was set to 4:15. But he must have hit snooze so after he got up his alarm went off again and I figured I might as well rise as well.

We were fully packed yesterday, aside from things like iPads and watches, so we just had to deal with our showers and doing a few small tasks. Still, it took about an hour to do those things.

Our flight was leaving from SFO. Oh how I wish we could do SJC for a change … and a closer airport. But so it goes.

Dan did the driving, and we were both a bit surprised by the number of cars already on the road. Gee, I guess people have to work! Go figure.

We parked, took the tram (or whatever it’s called) to the terminal, and went into the lounge where we could have mediocre coffee and breakfast. But hey, it didn’t cost anything, so there’s that. Then it was a lot of waiting time. Time in which I could start today’s blog entry and then read.

We easily boarded the plane and managed to get the luggage stored right above us — that’s not always possible as people tend to put their luggage closer to the front of the plane rather than at their own seats, but since Dan gets to be in boarding group one (thus I do too!) we were in pretty quickly.

Then we sat for about 45 minutes as they said our take off was delayed. I did more reading and I do believe I slept a bit.

Our flight, when we finally did take off, was unremarkable and easy, and we saw some nice snow-covered peaks. (Bad photos, but oh well!)

Once we landed we made our way to the train (they call it something else) to get us to the location where Dan’s brother picked us up. Then we drove to Richard and Diane’s place.

Hello, Woodinville, Washington!

We did a ton of talking, snacking, and eventually ate dinner. Ruth Ann had joined us as well, and it was great to see her. She drove on her own from her home in California and I am rather impressed, as I’m not sure I could be so adventurous.

I could write more, but having been up since 4:00 AM or thereabouts I’m absolutely exhausted. I would imagine this post is both boring and full of errors but so be it: my brain is fried!

Maybe tomorrow I’ll actually take a few good photos. But who knows?
