Ugh. Tried to take my 12YO DD to this a few weeks ago in Centralia, WA, which is about 90 miles south of where we live in Seattle. We left shortly after 3:00 and at 5:30 we had not cleared Tacoma which is about 40 miles south. Traffic was so bad I could post on Facebook from the express lane. We pulled off and ate and got blizzards at DQ. I had DD's younger sister with me and they both thought it was a good trip. It took 53 minutes to get home.
