Washington Vacation

WARNING:
What you are about to read is an extensive travel log of our latest trip to Washington. We took over 600 pictures and although we would like to show them all we will try to narrow them down to only the best and top photos! Also be forewarned that after viewing these pictures you may have the desire to travel to these destinations and experience them for yourself!

Mt. Rainier
Last Friday we packed our bags and hit the road for our first stop of our journey: Mount Rainier. As the name implies 'Rain-ier' it is quite rainy here but we lucked out and only had a few showers the morning we were packing up and leaving. We couldn't have asked for better weather on our trip--it was wonderful! We camped two nights here at Rainier and enjoyed fantastic views and beautiful scenery although it was too cloudy to actually see Rainier! (Sidenote: Nate and I came five or so years ago and same thing--too cloudy to see the mountain! Bummer!)

Mara's trying to look through the telescope and find the mountain!

We saw fantastic waterfalls.

These two little cuties were great friends on the trip! It's nice when everyone gets along!

The scenery was awesome! We loved exploring this national park.

Check out all that snow! Crazy!

Caleb LOVED the trip! He did great! He just went with the flow and had a fabulous time hiking, seeing the sights, I think we've got another happy camper in our family!





....stay tuned for more of our trip experience coming soon!

I don't know how you came home. You either ran out of money, or clean clothes.
I am ready to pack my bags and head northwest.
The best part of your trip is seeing all of you having such a good time.
Love, M
