Our flight was delayed 2 hours. Thankfully, we had no connecting flight anywhere and were simply 2 hours late getting to Seattle that afternoon. This is why I'm a big fan of no connecting flights if at all possible! That's why we drive to Seattle to catch flights since they are more likely to be direct.
Sunrise over the Mississippi on our way to the New Orleans Airport.
Leaving New Orleans.
The drive home started as expected with traffic on 405.
High gas prices in Issaquah was also expected.
What WAS surprising was terrible pass conditions on April 10th. We got to the summit ok, but coming down the other side was weird. There were people who had run off the road so it causes backups. Since there were backups, the snow kept accumulating on the road and the plows couldn't get through. The roads were super sketchy and probably took us an extra 30 minutes, but we made it through.
Traffic back up.
We were driving 1 mile an hour so Elizabeth decided to taste some snow.
The worst of the traffic. Once we got to a little lower elevation, all was well again and we made it home late Sunday afternoon to sun and wind.
