The time had finally come. The car and Uhaul were packed up (after quite a debacle with finding a trailer hitch), and Mom had flown down from Alaska to drive the 1,664 miles from Seattle, WA to Duluth, MN with me.
After a tear filled Sunday, we hit the freeway, and stopped about an hour outside Seattle to grab lunch before the straight shot to Spokane. Nothing is ever easy though, is it? Naturally, the trailer towing my car got a flat tire, and UHaul officially became my life-long nemesis.

Only about an hour later then, we were back on the road to Spokane, WA, where we would be spending the night. Why you ask? Well, the next day we had to put a hitch on my car, and take everything from the Uhaul truck and put it in the Uhaul trailer. Let's just say mom and I had some major bonding time, BUT, it saved us about $1000.

Finally then, we made it back on the road for the actual roadtrip, when the real adventure would begin..
