On Monday we were up at 3am and got everything and everyone loaded in the car within forty minutes. Against all of my worst fears, we had a really easy time at the airport and a relatively easy flight. Clarissa slept the first fifteen minutes in my baby carrier on me, and after she woke up Abe entertained her all the way to Seattle. Thank you, Abe.
When we got to Seattle, we couldn’t believe how fresh and clean the air was. Clark and Swathi live in a forested area, and the air was incredible. We spent a lot of the rest of the day breathing deeply and napping.
