Better late than never

Kurt, Jeanette, and I went to Ephrata, WA this weekend.  We decided to take Floyd (Kurt's car) since he was recently repaired and super clean.  We packed up and headed out.  Apparently, Floyd is not completely fixed.  We only made it to Northbend, WA when Floyd overheated- by the time we exited smoke was coming out from under the hood.  We made it to a gas station, Kurt bought some coolant, and waited for things to simmer down.  Then we headed back to Bothell!  But, not before Floyd started to overheat again.  When this started to happen we'd immediately pull over to the side of the freeway and wait until the engine cooled a bit.  It took a while to get home.  Then we switched all our gear into the Rav (my car) and started again.  We made it to Ellensburg (almost there!) when Kurt got pulled over.  It was pretty lame since he wasn't speeding that much, but the officer let us go with a warning!  We finally made it to Ephrata by 5pm.  Originally we left in time to make it by 2:30.  Whoops!  It was well worth it though!  It was great catching up with Sarah and David, and the rest of the Hammond clan!  I can't wait to see you guys again!
