1) I was abandoned in Snoqualmie Pass and initially met Mark when I needed a ride home from a camping trip. We will address the lasting trauma and drag Dave Klann thru the mud in a later post.
2) I met Mark's family (before we started dating) whilst trying to hitch a ride on a subsequent camping trip. There was a lot of beer and off-roading prior to any introductions. We should check in with my sister-in-law to see if enough time has passed for us all to laugh about it ......
3) Mark and I drove all over Washington, Idaho and B.C. while we were dating. Usually we were headed to some kind of party or wedding or camp out or function that involved craziness and general mayhem.
So last weekend we took another kind of road trip. Twelve years later it was still just as crazy ... cuz we took a 2 month-old baby with us! Nolan was great in the car and we had a wonderful time in Winthrop on the eastern side of the state. Check-out our little traveler taking his first road trip:
