This was our 3rd year going and being a support vehicle for my dad on his STP(Seattle to Portland) Bike Ride. We had a blast! We took Merrick along with us, and Braxton stayed with Aunty Mandy:) It all seemed to go by way too fast this year...but always inspiring nonetheless. We were up at 3:30 am, to make it to the startline by about 4:15am. It is always so neat to see all the riders there ready to go. We were able to get my dad right by the start line and in the first wave of riders. I journaled below the pictures to give you a play by play:)

This was absolutely beautiful, and my picture does NOT do it justice, but such a great view of the space needle!

Merrick was LOVING every minute of this!
Ricky was a great navigator, and an awesome driver!
