Oregon

Well we got here. It's not really that far, but today it seemed like it. I've never seen so much traffic on a trip from Covington, WA to Florence, OR. A trip that normally takes about six hours took about eight and a half. We did stop for about an hour for lunch and to give the kids a chance to feed and burp the baby.
Probably the worst traffic we encountered was south of Fort Lewis, nearly all the way to Olympia. It was bumper to bumper for an hour.
That would have been really frustrating, except for the entertainment. The woman in the car in front of us looked like she was freaking out with road rage at first glance. She was shaking her head frenetically, and yelling, pumping her fists and rocking back and forth in her car.
It turned out though that she was just listening to music and was one of the most avid headbangers I've ever seen. Between songs she'd settle down, and once for a couple of minutes she must have been listening to a quieter song, but as soon as her music got rowdy again she was at it again. When her car was stopped we could hear the music and see it bouncing up and down as she "danced" to the music.
It made for fine entertainment.
