Location: Kelso, WA -> Friday Harbor
Breakfast: A bacon and egg croissant from Starbucks. Astonishingly good, considering I don’t like that sort of thing. Orange juice
Lunch: Garlic chicken and rice from Thai Gusto in Everett. Happened to remember this place as we were driving in to town. Tessa claims to love Thai food, but by “Thai food” she means sticky rice. Not so much with the protein.
Afternoon snack: Java chip Frappuccino
Dinner: Hamburger and chicken and green salad and watermellon / blueberry salad with Justin and Rita. The hamburger was something called “Hamburger Bacon” which is ground beef cured like bacon added to normal ground beef. It makes quite a burger.

Location: Ashland, OR to Mt. Saint Helens
Breakfast: Huge free breakfast at the Bard’s Inn. Oatmeal, breakfast burrito, sausage
Morning Snack: Iced tea, some cheese popcorn
Lunch: Split a burrito at Qdoba. Diet Coke
Dinner: Chicken and dumplings, green salad, Iced tea. Ate at the 19-Mile House coming down the mountain from Mt. Saint Helens. Honestly, mixed reviews. The chicken and dumplings were legit, but everything else had a very packaged flavor to it, including the berry cobbler.
Dessert: Berry cobbler and lava cake at 19-Mile House. Both sucked. The lava cake really sucked. I mean, instead of being cooked to the point where it was still gooey, they just squirted Hershey’s syrup on top. The berry part of the cobbler was awesome, but the cobbler part was meh.
Location Albany to Ashland, OR
Breakfast: Raisin bran, cranberry juice
Lunch: Hot dog from Costco… start of our trip to WA
Afternoon snack: Buster bar! For some reason, I’ve been thinking about these for a while. Growing up, my elementary school had minimum days from time to time, and the only fast food within walking distance was Dairy Queen… so basically 100 kids would descend on the place. I don’t remember when we were allowed to walk there on our own and just get picked up in the back parking lot. I always had a Buster Bar, though I was probably the only one who liked them. For the uninitiated, I can describe them better by how it seems like they are made. Imagine a small paper cup, dump in some roasted, salted peanuts, mix in some hot fudge. Let it chill, then fill the cup about 2/3 of the way with vanilla ice cream (well, ice milk). Add another layer of fudge and peanuts, shove in a popsicle stick, chill, remove the paper cup and dip in a chocolate shell.
I haven’t had one in a long time, but every now and then in college I might stop at a Dairy Queen and pick one up. I was explaining them to the girls, and then around 3:00 today, decided Redding had to have a Dairy Queen. They’ve renamed it DQ, and they don’t have Buster Bars on the menu, but they have them if you ask.
Dinner: Went to Standing Stone Brewery in Ashland, OR. Had a great bacon bleu cheese burger. Fries were mediocre (steak style, which leaves a mushy center). Beer was good. Ceasar salad was good. Split both with Suzanne.
Breakfast: Granola, cranberry juice
Morning Snack: Salted peanuts and a few pieces of cheese
Lunch: Ham sandwich with avocado
Afternoon snack: Gelato from Zia’s in El Dorado Hills. I had a Blackberry Lemonade / Dark chocolate-cherry. A really fabulous combination. Also, iced tea.
Dinner: Family style Chinese food at Great Wall in Lafayette. OK, but definitely uninspired… could use a lot more spice and even flavor.
