She did it! Melissa got her license. In fact, the DMV tester said it's been a long time since he's given a 95, but Melissa did it. Of course, I took the credit as her instructor. After all, I should get something for all the checks I've written to the DMV over the last couple of days. And, as predicted, it rained during her drive test, but not much before or after.
Besides the DMV, we spent more time visiting Mary's mom and sister. It's been a blessing to be able to eat lunch and dinner at Bill & Charie's house (and breakfast at the hotel). It's helped the budget considerably. It was also nice to be able to our laundry there, without having to get a roll of quarters!
I spent much of the afternoon and evening on the computer, working out plans for Liz & Jacob's honeymoon, and locating and booking hotels for the rest of the trip. Unfortunately, we struck out for a hotel in Elko, Nevada next week, to visit Mary's brother and sister-in-law. It turns out the Elko Mining Expo is going on next week and every hotel room is booked. No kidding.
It makes us weary thinking about all the driving we still have ahead: east to the Boise airport to drop off Melissa tomorrow so she can fly to Arizona for her summer job, then turn around and go west to Bend, Oregon (too far to go to Medford in one day); to Ashland/Medford the next day; visit with Rebekah; then southeast to Reno and then Elko, Nevada; then a long drive to southern Utah, and another to Phoenix. We'll take a day off there, and check in with Melissa. Finally, we drive to Nogales the next day. Whew! Roughly 2200 more miles in the next 10 days (counting visiting days). I'm sure glad I have a great car... and a beautiful driving companion.
