Day 1-2: Seattle and Chelan

We had a totally pleasant flight from London to Seattle, and then we picked up our awesome rental pickup truck, and drove to Will & Rebecca's house in time for a late dinner and happy reunion with cousins and Grandma Debi.

 The next morning, we had breakfast and drove to REI so Rhodri could do his "consumer research" for 3 hours,

 then we got back into the truck and headed east to Chelan

Once in Chelan, we paaaarrrrttiiiieeed at this awesome house we had decided to rent! It has a pool, nice grassy lawn, beautiful view of the lake which is a short 5 min walk down the hill, sleeps all 13 of us, and it is just so wonderful!

One funny thing is that my friend Denise from SB and her family were by coincidence up staying the week in Chelan and we overlapped by this one day! So her whole family came over to see us at our awesome pad and we got to hang out chatting for a bit. That was fun and we will see them all later when we get down to SB at the end of our trip.
