Olympia, WA- Seattle, WA : We had lunch with Matt's uncle Jack and aunt Polly. It was fun and delicious. I'm glad it was free too. Free food is always good. Plus, we had a banana creme pie for dessert. That was soo good. :) We took the car to the shipping place at night and packed all of our stuff into suitcases. We had to hide some stuff in the car because it wouldn't fit in our suitcases, but it all worked out.
Seattle, WA - Fairbanks, AK : Checkout was at 11:00 so we took our time getting ready. The shuttle to the airport went right after checkout so we spent a long time at the airport. They took all our stuff and we seemed to still have a lot of heavy carry-ons. We had to just find a place to sit and settle in there instead of walking around the airport shops. Three hours waiting at the airport later, we finally boarded our plane. Zoey was a good flier. She has been great the whole trip with the exception of one day (good thing we didn't go too far then). Flying over Alaska was so cool. It was very mountainous and we could see a lot of peaks everywhere :) it's about 100 mi south of where we live, called Denali National Park. We'll have to go camping there before we move away.
The apartment was only half finished. This pissed me off big time , especially after being tired from travelling. There was pretty much no reason for things not being done (except the roof--which can only be done in the spring). We sat down and talked the following day and worked out an agreement. Matt and I will do as many repairs and upgrades as we are able to do in exchange for free laundry. It sure beats driving 20 min to town to use the laundromat. One bedroom is green and the other is blue. The movers are supposed to arrive today with all of our stuff, so I'm excited about that. I should call and see when they're coming in. Write more later
