Trip from Seattle to Winthrop


I have planned this trip for a while. Fall and winter are the good seasons to enjoy the colors and winter scenes. But I picked up the Labor Day long weekend to pay the first visit. I started from Seattle, took I-90 Highway, and backed from State Highway 20, I-5 Highway. During 13 hours' trip, I stopped on few points to either have lunch, or had short time breaks.
