We are here at D’s chilling out with everyone. They are playing cards. It has been a great visit.
We got up here Friday later then we planned, made good time until Seattle…ggrr That city is horrible on I-5 no matter what time of day. We hit there by 3pm and it was worst then Indy at rush out. That pushed us back on time.
It wasn’t too bad crossing the border. Only took us about 30 minutes. We are leaving early tomorrow to try and miss the border rush. We are going to start the passport process next week. It will make it so much easier. Then we are going try and apply for the Nexus….it is a prescreened pass for crossing the border. We want to try and come up every few weeks so it will make life easier.
We were staving when we got up here so we were going to get a quick bite and head over, well didn’t happen. Eliza was cooking dinner for us. That was totally unexpected and so cool. It was great timing. She cooked up some great chicken with a thailand chili sauce. It reminded me of a slightly spicy sweet and sour sauce. I haven’t eaten that many wings in forever. They were great.

After a late night, we went back to the hotel and crashed. We were exhausted.
We meet with a couple of our friends for breakfast. Didn’t think we would spend so much time, but we were having so much fun catching up. We haven’t seen them in years.
Then we headed to D’s for some of his great BBQ & potato salad. That man can cooked. It also helps that Eliza loves to cook herself. When they cook, they cook a lot. The grill stayed filled for a couple of hours.
We got to meet some of their friends. That is one that is so Diesel is that amount of people that he knows, so you are always meeting someone new. You end up hearing some really cool and interesting stories.
After a late night we headed to the hotel for some shut eye, since we were leaving very early Sunday for the border. We left just before 7am and got to the border about 30 minutes later. It took us about 15-20 minutes to get through. It wouldn’t have been so bad but they only had 2 lanes open at that time.
It was a rainly drive home, but at least Seattle wasn’t as bad, but still worst then you would think for a Sunday. I’m happy that we didn’t decide on Seattle based on traffic alone…….icks
Today was a day of work once we got a few errands done. Then we stayed around the house since we were expecting some deliveries. Which pissed us off when we didn’t get our stuff! The UPS site said they were suppose to be delivered today, but now says that it was left at the facility……..and we paid for 3 day! We are mad as hell.
When it is ground, it is no big deal. But we paid extra! And we wasted our day waiting for it when we should’ve gone to the grocery store and other errands. I’m so pissed, that I’m calling them again and demanding that they be delivered 1st thing in the morning…..it is such BS!
Well, I called them……..Harold’s words “you are a bitchâ€, I’m like damn right, I’m pissed and they screwed it up and wasted our day………ggrrr
Otherwise, we had a great weekend. =)
