We drove from BI to Rainier via the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tacoma_Narrows_Bridge">Tacoma-Narrows Bridge</a>, our first crossing of the infamous structure (it was considerably cheaper and faster to go this route &ndash; $28 for the ferry, $4 for the bridge). We arrived around midday on Saturday, ate some lunch with the kids and drove up to <a href="http://www.nps.gov/mora/planyourvisit/sunrise.htm">Sunrise</a>.</p> <figure> <a data-fancybox="Please no shooting." href="https://photos.smugmug.com/i-csnxd3D/0/M/i-csnxd3D-M.jpg" data-caption="sunrise"> <img src="https://photos.smugmug.com/i-csnxd3D/0/M/i-csnxd3D-M.jpg" alt="sunrise"> </a> <figcaption>sunrise</figcaption> </figure> <p>On the way we passed through the town of Packwood for the first time and witnessed their <a href="http://www.destinationpackwood.com/markets.cfm">biannual flea market</a>. The flea market is a loosely structured affair whereby vendors negotiate with local businesses directly to rent space to sell their wares. It had the distinct feeling of being a hillbilly convention &ndash; we loved it.</p>
