Driving to WA

Chris and I decided at the last minute to go home and see family, go to a spa for a night and head to the ocean. Why not because I have the time right now?

I think Chris would normally have been not too happy with me since the call took 2 hours but the room came with a six pack of great beer so I was in luck!! The beer kept him very good company.

I had found a place alongside the road to get the call and while I was there I saw an eagle with a fish in its possession flying across the road as well as this guy and his family:
