Return from Wenatchee

For those of you who didn't know, Rebecca has been working up in Wenatchee, Washington, for these last five and a half years. This involved a lot of commuting, the upside...a lot of miles on Alaska Airlines, the downside...a lot of commuting!

She finally packed in the job and I drove up to Wenatchee to help bring her and her things home. 

We took a pretty leisurely trip home, the bet part of which was the upper Sonoma coast.

Some photos from that area:

Now for something jarringly different...Just before leaving Washington, the huge fires (turned out to be the largest in the states' history) started just up from Wenatchee at a small town called Entiat...
