Day 8 was pretty uneventful... our day started with make-your-own waffles at the hotel's "free" breakfast... we met a lovely older couple from Liverpool, England who were on the last week of their 5-week vacation- must be nice! We then went to the Grand Opening of the Columbia outlet store in town (this was advertised and talked about all over town so it must have been a really big deal!). We bought us both a rain jacket, Mike a pair of pants and me a sweater and spent less than $80- what a deal! Once we left town the rain started... and it rained and rained and rained the entire way to Seattle. Then, it started hailing once we were on the drawbridge over the Columbia River crossing over into Washingston state.
This is our view of the drawbridge in a hail storm...
We did not even stop in Mike's birhtplace, Portland, Oregon because of the wet weather and the traffic congestion... We pretty much spent our entire trip from Portland to Seattle fighting rain and traffic... we did chase a rainbow along the way near Tacoma...
We ate supper at a nice restaurant along the Puget Sound... hopefully tomorrow will be more eventful.
