Off I Go!

Side note:  Doing some catch up from over the weekend.  Meant to do my blog while I was out of town but forgot.

Friday, Jan. 20.  Left for Seattle at 1:30pm today.  Title 1 conference for 4 days and I will be leaving my 3 yr old with my mom.  My daughter and I have not been away from each other for longer than 18 hours so this will be quite the feat.

Have to go over Snoqualmie Pass.  I laugh because when I was living in Yuma, AZ I was traveling to San Diego and everyone told me "the mountains will suck up your gas.  They are steep."  Yea....um.....if those were mountains then Snoqualmie Pass doesn't get snow LOL 

Travel was decent.  Roads were bare and wet.  Got to the pass before dark and everything was fine....until.....the summit.  This is where it began snowing harder and the roads were covered with more and more snow.  Fortunately, a few snow-plows were ahead of us.  We went 20 mph but, were safe.  But then.....all of a sudden...the snow-plows exited off to the ski area and it was dark and we could hardly see what with all the snowflakes!  eek!!!  We made it though!  Teeth were clenched and hands were sore that's for sure!

Checked into the Hilton.  It is very nice.  Saturday is first day of conference!
