Wow - looks like we are just about the only place in the USA which was not sweltering today. In fact, I don't think it even hit 70*F today. That's ok though because the kids went to golf lessons so they were comfortable.
This weekend, we went to Nosy Neighbour's new house. It is really lovely home. However, the drive there SUCKED. According to Mapquest, it should have taken 1 hour and 6 minutes. It was *2* hours and 10 minutes. All due to traffic! And it seems that the traffic delays are permanent. Driving through Tacoma, I-5 has *permanent* signs that state "SLOW TRAFFIC NEXT X MILES". We drove maybe 20 miles hour for about 30 minutes. Then as we approached the Tacoma Narrows Bridge we were in stop-and-go traffic for 40 minutes. And OMG, when I realized that we had to cross the bridge (how the h*ll did I not realize it?). Mercifully, Nosy Neighbour's house is just off the first exit so our drive finally ended. And thankfully, the drive home was not nearly as bad. We stopped about half-way home and played a round of mini-putt at a family fun center.
