Day 5-6 Name that volcano

Day 5
I got up and said my goodbyes to Home base.
I was able to have lunch with old friend Holly and Jenni in Tacoma. It was sunny and Mt. Rainer was seeable. I almost broke down in tears when crossing the bridge with the Rainer in the background. I had forgotten the feeling I had had when I first moved here. It was tender.
I drove down to Vancouver, WA to spend the night with my aunt and uncle. We had a small BBQ with them and some cousins and their families. I was able to see Mt. St. Helens and even Mt. Hood, that is how sunny it was. It rarely happens.

Day 6
It wasn't supposed to be a long day, but it became one. I went to church with cousin, then drove to Corvallis area to visit another cousin. I had lunch and then visited the cemetery where my mother's grandparents were buried. I miss them.
I drove to the coast. My official coastal trip had begun. The Oregon coast is beautiful. Rocky cliffs, very green. I ended up driving all the way through Oregon in one day. It was rushed and I was exhausted by the time I reach Crescent City, CA. Phew. Favorite moment-it was when I reached the CA border and then stop you to make sure you don't have any fruit you are smuggling into the state. I asked does dried fruit count (I had been given dried mangos from Annie). Nope, she thought that was a good question.
