Final preps for the trip today.  Amazing how many devices we travel with these days:  computers, phones, pods, nook, hearing aides, etc.  Hope we have all the chargers and connectors we need.  Had a final gathering with all 4 boys for a birthday celebration at our favorite Italian restaurants, Soprano’s.  Tomorrow we start our trip with a short drive of less than 300 miles to Walla Walla and our first National Park Site, Whitman Mission.
