Day 5

Hey friends, family, and followers! 

Thanks to everyone who has been checking our blog out! We had over 240 page views just today, and the day is still young. We even have a few page views in Germany and Kuwait! So cool!

Since we last updated you we have 1) visited Old Faithful, 2) had our one year anniversary, 3) drove to Seattle, and 4) visited the famous sleepless city. 

1) Old Faithful was beautiful and faithful. While we were visiting there we stopped and looked inside the Old Faithful Inn. It was gorgeous! We also watched an informational video on how Yellowstone could explode at any second and all of our flesh would be burnt to a crisp instantly. Yeah, we were okay with moving on in our journey after that video. 

We got to Old Faithful right as it was exploding.

2) Tyler and I have officially made it through one whole year of marriage! Not only did that year go flying by, but we also have learned so much. To all of you soon-to-be-weds out there, nothing can prepare you for marriage. It is beautiful, but so completely different than dating. Ty surprised me with a one night stay at a cabin in Yellowstone. It was so wonderful to finally shower! And the best part - there were seriously buffalo right across the street from our cabin. If you read Ty's last post, then you know I adore those handsome guys! 

3) Seattle is approximately 12 hours from Yellowstone. We drove 9 hours to Moses Lake, spent the night at a wonderful Walmart, and then finished the last three hours of our journey this morning. The drive was gorgeous, especially Idaho. We weren't excepting much from Idaho, but it was probably my favorite drive-through state so far. (We didn't see any potato crops though!)

4) This morning (5/28/2013) we made it to Seattle! It is not only an intriguing city, but it also so rich with history! We visited a free museum on the history of the city. I am continually left in awe of the people who have founded our country. They were the most hard-working and driven people. While at the museum we got to follow the story of four different people (one of which was Mr. Nordstrom! (like the clothing)). Each one of their stories was incredible. 

Ty and I also went up in the famous Space Needle! It was super cold and windy, but it was incredible to be able to see the city from so far above! The smarts that the Lord gave the people who built it is crazy!

Side notes: 

~ The salmon here is incredible!

~ Tully's Coffee is my favorite and their are so many Tully cafes here!

~ The cafes here do not really serve anything but coffee and pastries. If I were you, I would definitely check out Courtyard Cafe on Main in Denver, Pa- so much better ;)

We are almost at 3,000 miles so we are currently getting the truck's (whom we have dearly named Hank) oil changed, as well as getting him checked over. He has been a great truck so far! So thanks to Good Year and their free Wi-fi, I am currently sitting on the ground behind a pile of tires so that I can charge the computer and update you all! 

We have decided to start heading out of Seattle tonight, and start heading to our next destination, Olympic Park. We want to get ahead of schedule so that we can spend an extra day at the beach relaxing. It also helps that it is suppose to downpour in Seattle tonight and tomorrow. 

Until the next time we can find wi-fi... love ty and kaddie
