For our driving trip up to Ashland and then Edmonds, we stocked up on holiday goodies and the audiobook CDs for "The Hobbit". We were surprised but not unprepared for snow on I-5, and took time for a snowball or two while gassing up. Ashland was beautifully lit, and only now does it seem funny we heard our mashed potatoe dinner crash coming out of the kitchen. Nonetheless, by skipping breakfast and keeping good speed, we made it well in time to check into the hotel in Edmonds and make our 6pm dinner reservations with the family.
