After the frustrating rainier day of trying to see Mt Rainier, we had stopped outside of Vancouver, Washington at a Days Inn tucked wa-ay behind the Westfield mall. Karen went to the pool and hot tub (that wasn't hot enough) while I wrote up the day. By 7:30, we were ready to wander out to find some food. We figured that a mall would have a food court. We didn't figure that the mall closed at 7! But Sears was atypically open late for a special promotion. I thought that I'd stop in for a replacement travel mouse. As I found that, Karen found a clearance backpack to replace our disintegrating one. Then we found an American Tourister roll-along suitcase at better than half-off to replace the embarrassingly well worn mid-90's one that Karen's been using on these trips. Plus the special event discounts, and $15 off for getting a new Sears card.
So we rolled the new luggage back to the hotel and called it a day.
