We arrived at Auntie Nancy, Uncle Doug and Robert's house around 2pm. We had a great sleep the night before and a very well cooked breakfast (very cooked!). We got back on the road at about 11 AM and drove to a little homestead just outside of Pasco, Washington. We left the computer GPS out of the picture for this drive, and relied on good old maps and directions. They seemed to get us to my aunt and uncle's place just fine.
I got to see and hang out with my aunt and cousin all afternoon, something which I haven't been able to do for close to 15 or 20 years, I think. We hooked up with my uncle for dinner at a great Mexican restaurant, then Rhonda, Robert and I did a little shopping... for a new vehicle GPS system! Well, we bought some other things, such as these cool laundry sheets that wash, and fabric soften all in one! Rhonda was particularly happy to find them since she had been talking about them and no one else had heard of them and she was beginning to doubt her sanity. Brett got cool new memory foam flip-flops (2 pairs! They were dirt cheap, compared to home). Brett could also learn a few gentlemanly manners from Robert. He opened Rhonda's door for her, carried the shopping whenever he could, and was extremely polite and very very helpful. Like we said, Brett has some learning to do.
We spent the evening chatting about the trip, about past times, and about the travel blog itself. It's now bedtime. We drove about 300 km today (I'm too tired to go out and check for sure). Another great day on the road, though!
