We took Friday off and headed east of the mountains Thursday after work. We were excited and ready for a three day weekend!
Just after exiting I-90 towards Yakima, we blew a tire on the motor home. It shredded the tire but luckily, didn't do any damage to the motor home. However, we were stranded for a couple hours as we waited for an emergency service call. FOUR tires later and $2000, we were headed back on the road! Gulp.
Amazing weather and rainbows! This picture was from the side of the freeway when we were stuck. After we got going, we watched a great lightning show driving to Sunnyside.
The hill before anyone raced. It was pretty awesome. And very steep. It doesn't look that steep, but up close, you could see how gnarly it was.
This was my spot. We parked the motor home on the hill, put out chairs and had a great view. We were able to sit in the sun and see all of the action! We did go into the pits a number of times, too. It's a great view (and different) to see the races up the hill from up close.
The boys and I took a helicopter ride! Cannon had been before, but Colson had not and he really wanted to go! I had also never been in a helicopter. It was pretty cool! I'd do it again in a heartbeat. The views were great.
Colson got to sit up front!
A shot from the helicopter. I can see our motor home and trailer!
Chris and I walked up to the top of the hill one evening. It was quite a walk. There is a road we walked up and parts were very steep. We stopped often to rest! (In the picture above it's the road all the way to the left.)
What a great weekend! We will definitely have to attend another hill climb. The sunny weather was much needed. The relaxation was great. The new experiences were amazing. Lots of memories!
Enjoying every moment!
