Trip to Washington

Hi - I'm Zade

For those of you who don't know, my full name is Scheherazade Elegante', but all my friends call me Zade.  I am an 11 year old Bengal and I rule my household which consists of 2 humans, Mom and Dad, and 3 other cats.  They are Tares, the 8 year old red Abyssinian; Loki, the 1 year old black Maine Coon; and Grizz, the 10 month old brown tabby Maine Coon.

As you can see,I am already in a box, ready to be given a ride out to the trailer.  This is one of my human's job.  I am clearly the superior intellect among this group.  I have attached pictures of all so you can see the truth in what I am saying.

Tares and I are used to traveling in the 5th Wheel every summer, so this is "old hat" to us.  However Loki and Grizz are new to our family so this is gonna be an interesting summer for them!

So come along with us -- I'll narrate, you read and look at pictures.

We left home, bright and early the morning of May 5 and went as far as Eugene, Oregon - only about 140 miles from home.  This was a first for Loki and Grizz and I had my paws full keeping them calmed down!  Mom and Dad just kinda kicked back here and didn't do much, which was just fine with us.  That meant more treats and more snuggles!

But they did do some shopping, and even went to Saturday Market, which is always fun for them.  They didn't buy much but did have fun.  There were lots of vegies on display though with all the farmers harvesting good stuff.  Mom said there were no good catnip toys there this time - bummer!

Next stop - Scappoose, Oregon (near Portland) and a visit to the Oregon Zoo!
