We left Pendleton, OR about 8:00. Topped off the tank with gas because gas in Washington is very expensive. I figure that we might just be able to complete our time in Washington without buying gas.

We had a nice lunch and the girls spent hours talking. Gene and I figured it was a draw about who talked the most.
