Road tripping-and-falling

Actual Route

Originally Planned Route

We came back down to Bellevue yesterday, hoping to meet Kate in Woodinville to see a house she was looking at. Let's just say that it didn't exactly work out. What should have taken 1 hour and 45 minutes total ended up taking closer to 3 hours. Accidents on every road we diverted to; rain after days of sun will do that here.

Funny thing about technology; if we didn't have Streets & Trips on the laptop, we never would have been bold enough to go off-highway and try to bypass the traffic jam. Therefore, we would not have ended up wandering in the middle of nowhere. We might have actually gotten there faster without out potentially time-saving navigational device. Sigh. Who can predict such things?
