Road Trip to Washington

Brace yourself for a ton of pictures from our road trip to our new home! Seong's parents helped us move Seong's car and stuff from St.Louis all the way to Tacoma, Washington. We decided to make a vacation out of it and stopped along the way in Kansas City MO, North Platte NE, Yellowstone National Park, and Spokane WA. I had never been west of Kansas, so we really took some time to enjoy God's creation. The views, the mountains, the clouds, the babbling brooks, and the sunsets were incredible! I especially loved the thermal features in Yellowstone, where heated mineral water steams or bubbles up out of the ground leaving beautiful mineral formations and the smell of sulfur in the air. The "boiling river", where hot mineral water meets a cold stream, was like a natural hot tub! I highly recommend checking it out if you go to Yellowstone - which everyone should.
We entertained ourselves while driving by listening to an audiobook, Anne of Green Gables, and the podcasts Radio Lab and Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, and by snacking on cookies and beef jerky. At every stop we tried to swim, take walks, and get a lot of sleep! We drove 2,100 miles, but it didn't feel so bad. The 30 hours were split up over 6 days, so we got lots of fun out of the trip, as you can see below.





















And we finally made it! I remember this moment, feeling that we had come to the place that God had set for us to be. I hope you feel that sometime too.
