Shocking how fast things are changing with the pandemic. We're on the way home. We were planning to slowly cruise home and find things to do along the way. Instead we plowed through. Had lupper at Heaven on Earth which was lovely. The giant cinnamon bun was awesome. Then right back to it. We didn't want to stay in Washington. Just in case the border people ask. So booked a hotwire hotel in Portland. It's a Quality Inn so at least we know it's a good breakfast tomorrow before we zoom through Washington. Feels like our last bit of freedom here. Quarantine tomorrow once we hit home. Sort of scared to see what changes happen by tomorrow. Also shocked at the stories of empty shelves. Eric bought a giant bag of flour before we left so with 14 days of nothing to do will leave us time to make noodles everyday if need be. Crazy. None of us are sick. None of us have seen any sick people. Lots of fresh air. Should never have joked that I could use the time at home to get stuff done! Kids took the news in stride. Jia was dismayed at first but once she knew she could still ride her bike in the yard she relaxed. Boys were happy to hear more time off school. Lili and Fei are quiet. No panic yet. Just me wondering what we'll do for 14 days!! Just us. Wondering out loud if moving into the moho and driving around would still count as quarantined...like if we kept to our site and did the social distance thing?? Or should we consider tackling watching a long series like Friends? Wish I could offer to help anyone in need but we're going to be mia for a while! Grateful we got to travel, grateful we get to come home to Canada, grateful we'll be quarantined at home and grateful we're all healthy.
