239: family to drive with

It took me roughly 8 hours to get from Brookings to Portland yesterday, with a stop in Eugene to pick up a few things. We have 6 hours in the car today with our trip to and from Seattle for the celebration. .I am thankful that I don't have to do the actual driving, but can sit and relax a little and have some good conversation with family on the way. I'll be making the 7ish-hour drive back to Brookings tomorrow so it's nice to have a little bit of a focus-break today.
