Home Again, Home Again

BACK IN TOWN: We made the six-plus hour drive from the Central Oregon coast today back to the Emerald City. It seemed to take too long, but I guess that's what happens when you have six animals with bladders packed into one Honda Fit. :0

When we finally made it back to Seattle, we saw the Great Wheel was sporting Huskies' colors, a hat tip to the Huskies playing in the Fight Hunger Bowl this evening.

One of our pit stops was in Centralia, at McMenamins' Olympic Club. We've always like McMenamins' for their unique art work and craft beers, but now that we bought McMenamins passorts, with prizes for hitting stops, we're especially motivated to stop. We make sure to get our passport stamps at each stop.
                                        
Each McMenamins has its own vibe, and perhaps the coolest thing at the Olympic Club is the women's restroom off the pub. "So many choices! I don't know which one to use!" Annabelle said of all the faucets.

And so, she tested them all. And yes, they all worked.

And here is Ms. Annabelle sporting a French fry mustache.

Tomorrow will be unpacking, cleaning, and finding new homes for all the great Christmas gifts.

This is a short one- turns out sitting in a car for several hours with one or more Havanese on your lap is exhausting.
