Getting out of Dodge

We'd been planning this trip for about two months. After weeks of preparation, deciding what to take and what to leave, the day of departure was on us. Sunday dawned bright but brisk. With temperatures in the low 40's we loaded up the last our the groceries and set off for the ferry. A smooth 15 minute crossing and we were off for I-5 and our first stop - Lakewood, WA where we planned a week long stay at my mother-in-laws house. Relatives were coming from all over to enjoy an early Thanksgiving with us before we headed off into the sunset. This leg, 80 miles. Trip mileage 80 miles.
