We met my parents for breakfast at 10:00 this morning, figuring that after breakfast we would spend a couple of hours packing up the car and then get on our way. My parents came to get some stuff from the house and help us pack up--about 3:00, we broke for a late lunch, then came back and finished packing the car. We finally hit the road about 5:30. Thank goodness my parents were there, or we wouldn't have gotten on the road for another 2 or 3 hours after that. (Thank you, Mom and Dad!)
The cats took to the cage pretty readily, actually. Phoenix seemed to just accept it as another weirdness that he had to tolerate (like the house slowly emptying of all of our stuff) and settled down to a nap (on most of the cushion). Gizmo spent a little while looking out, then settled down himself, only grouching occasionally. There was a quiet battle for cushion space, though, as any time one of the cats stood up, the other would stretch out to occupy most of the cushion. Gizmo finally just simply laid down on top of Phoenix to make him move as we came out of Ellensburg.
Because of our late start, we didn't get into Kennewick until about 10:15. Freshman (the friend we were going to visit) has to be at work at 6:30 in the morning, so had to go to bed. I'll be getting up in just a few hours to meet him for breakfast before he goes to work, so I should be going to bed soon, myself.
Oh, and the humorous place/business name of the day is The Inn at Horse Heaven in Prosser, WA.
