We started the day at the Mill Bay Casino in Manson WA which is right on Lake Chelan.  We went inside first thing in the morn to wipe the smile off the machine I won $60 on the night before and to get coffee ( mostly to get coffee).  We gave back about $ 10 and we werre on our way to Leavenworth.  We got to the town and realized that it was the monday of the long memorial day weekend.  The town was a little crowded but had some activities going on.  We walked thru town and landed at the starbucks.  They had free wifi and we need to make hotel reservations for a place somewhere on I-5 before going across the US and Canada border.  We went on priceline and got the Fairfield Inn in Burlington (between Mt Vernon and Bellingham).  We then went looking for a place to eat and then we hit the road.  The drive was expected to be 3hours 30 mionutes and about 200 miles.  Well … it was the monday of Memorial Day weekend.  We drove about an hour and everything stopped.  We went 10 miles in an hour.  we got into the Fairfield Inn around 6pm.
