Day 29-32: Washington to Washington

We picked Washington D.C. as our midway point in the journey for a couple of reasons. It fit our timeline to arrive in D.C. one month in, and with Ryan's sister living just outside of the district, we had no problem with where to leave our car for the quick trip home.

Yes, we flew home to Seattle for the weekend. It was well worth it:

Our morning started early, like 2am early (Seattle time). We took off from Washington D.C. on Friday and flew into Seattle while it was still morning. It took us 27 days to get from Seattle to D.C. But it only took us 5 1/2 hours to get back. It was bizarre to get somewhere so quickly after using driving as your means of travel for a month.

We came home to our respective piles of bills and mail and, for Ryan, a fallen rock zone he calls his room. I don't blame him though. After graduating from the UW he had a flight the next day to Europe. Three weeks later he was back in Seattle, but in the same week we left for this trip in July.

On Saturday, Ryan took out his boat with some of the guys. They battled out the storm that ensued. Or should I say, they hid from it:

The weather turned around for the better on Sunday and made for a beautiful wedding. Congratulations Aaron and Lacey! I'm so glad we didn't miss you guys!
