Still no baby yet! But man do Mark and Jaclyn have quite the collection of antique knick-knacks.
We got a late start this morning because we waited around to check out the Yelm Farmer’s Market.
Then we had 13 car-free miles filled with gorgeous trees and more of the lovely yellow Scotch broom all the way to Tenino.
Upon arrival in Tenino, we went straight to their Farmer’s Market!
Since we didn’t find sustenance at the market, we stopped by one of the numerous coffee drive-thru huts we’ve passed all over Washington, to get drinks to accompany our lunch of smoked salmon from Pike Place Market in Seattle.
When we got to Malibu in the Southern Half ™, Alissa regretted not having taken pictures of the different styles of lifeguard stations we passed as we cycled by all the California State Beaches. After we rode by a couple of these coffee shacks, she thought about documenting all them to make up for this. But it quickly became apparent that doing so would mean stopping far more often than we’d like.
Leaving Tenino, we had more beautiful vistas and a road almost entirely to ourselves. Maybe two cars passed us?
We arrived in Centralia thirsty and hungry, as today was 10 degrees warmer than yesterday. We lucked out and chose to stop at Lewis County’s most loved dessert location.
Finally we made it to our home for the evening, Chehalis,
welcomed by the giant greeting committee of one.
