Idaho and Washington - An end to our trip (taken 11/04)
2008.11.07
I think this is the only picture we took in Idaho, we werent there long.
|
The sign we have all been waiting for!
|
YAWN - Im so polite I already know to cover my mouth
|
Again with the contrast of the green land and the snowy mountains
|
more of those windmill things
|
They are really HUGE they just look small because they are waaaay above us. We actually saw a semi haul just one of the propellors and it took up more room than there was on the truck bed. We liked them.....
|
Another bridge we crossed on our journey
|
the cliffs got more blue the further they were
|
cool jagged edges
|
This was the first time we saw snow sort of on our level and not 1000s of feet above us
|
It wasnt cold in our comfy new car though, as you can see by my lack of footwear.
|
Still loving the licorice
|
We thought it was interesting that you could like see a line of where the temp was above freezing and where it wasnt on the side of the hills
|
Same effect but with the mountains
|
All the trees here are tall, we havent even seen a redwood yet.....these are just the regular trees (use the semi ahead of us for scale)
|
winter wonderland
|
again with the adorable house in the middle of the scenery, wouldnt it be nice,huh?
|
and thats not even the tallest one we saw.....
|
The mountains started getting lost in the haze
|
These are what we called the stilt trees. They would have no live branches on the bottom, then it was like a christmas tree just appeared on top. There are quite a few of these along the cliffs that we can see from the highway by our house. One of the things we will probably never forget about living here.
|
There was like steam coming out of the ground. I am sure I had something to do with the temperature changes but it made for a cool pic.....
|
Finally, we are in the Fort Lewis area....this was our first experience, as a family, with traffic....what a change!
|
Thats the Tacoma Dome
|
Our city at night

It gets prettier the closer you get to the west coast. Picture number 18 is my favorite (even if it doesn't have you in it). I can't wait until we can come and see you. It looks so beautiful there. Love you.
