We left Seattle at 12:30 today, driving to Redmond, OR, for the weekend. We met up with Kate and Spencer, who were driving down separately, in Madras, OR, for dinner at the Black Bear Diner. Other than a weird situation with a claustrophobic woman while waiting to be seated, it was a pretty good meal. I had a pulled pork sandwich with fries. The barbecue sauce on my sandwich was a bit sweeter than I like it, but it was still very good. Ben had a great tri-tip sandwich with fries. Katie opted for breakfast and had chocolate chip pancakes, heavily dipped in syrup, with chocolate milk and fruit. Spencer had a half rack of pork ribs with clam chowder, and Kate had the California Bacon Benedict.
After dinner, we drove into Redmond and met Jennifer at Fred Meyer to pick up groceries for the weekend. If we had driven straight to her house without the grocery store stop, we would have arrived in exactly 7.5 hours. Not bad considering it included a bathroom stop, long dinner, and a construction zone where we had to drive pretty slow. The worst part of the trip was that we got a long crack in our windshield when a rock hit our window in the construction zone.
