We stopped at a Five Guys in Tacoma while the Tesla was charging.<\/p><p>At the airport, there was no economy parking, so we had to park in the main lot for over $30 a day. We got through security without any issues. At first, the biggest surprise was just how gross and outdated the airport felt. After waiting for our flight for an hour, we were notified that it had been delayed by two hours. They handed out Cheetos and tiny water bottles as compensation.<\/p><p>While we waited, we played a game of Munchkin on the gross airport floor. I won easily, of course.

The small road off the highway to get to our house has eroded to an alarming extent, and will eventually collapse, but to live in such a place is well worth the risk. By day, lush, green mountains are visible extending from a small valley.
