I had wild plans of a well thought out and written post for tonight.  Unfortunately, I don't think that will be happening.  I'm in a hotel room with 4 very loud and energetic kids.  My frustration level is obnoxiously high, since we've already moved rooms once due to a complaining downstairs neighbor.  I asked for a ground floor room.  I'm on the second floor.  I asked to be away from other patrons.  She put me directly above someone who apparently needed to be asleep before 7pm in order to rise early tomorrow.  I give up.  Aside from duct taping my children, I'm at a loss to curb their loud enthusiasm and elephantine foot steps. 
I've also decided my helper behavior (my desire to help those around me who need it) is side-tracking me from my goal...Canada and the rest of my trip.  So I've determined to pick up and get back on the road.  I started today by heading out across the Sound (Kingston to Edmonds) and then up into North Cascades National Park.  I'm in a hotel overnight, and will continue our adventure tomorrow, completing a Cascades Scenic Loop, recrossing the Sound (Edmonds to Kingston) and returning to Bremerton in time for a birthday party for our second littlest niece...she turns 3 tomorrow. 
Saturday we'll go see some steamer trains.  Sunday, church.  Monday...underway, shift colors.
