I'm totally exhausted from hosting my brother and sister-in-law for a week. They left on Friday morning. Friday evening I picked up my friend Kristin from the train station. She came up to see me (and Seattle) for the weekend from Chicago (via Portland). I had a lot of fun and even got to see a few things I had never seen before. It's all sort of running together now, but I think the highlights were going to Mt. Rainier with Drew, Vanessa, and Adrian and going to ride bikes on Bainbridge Island with Kristin. I totally love going new places.Mt. Rainier was great, we hiked up around Mowich Lake. There was still a lot of snow (though it's probably melted with the weather this past week). It was weird hiking on snow, considering it was the end of June. The upper lake was still frozen over. Unfortunately when we got to the top you couldn't see Mt. Rainier because of the clouds, but the hike was still worth it. Adrian and I had a blast sliding down on the snow. He got some quality action shots of my successfully falling on my rear. I'm so coordinated.
Hopefully I can fully recover this week, because Adrian and I want to head up to go camping somewhere in the Cascades. We'll see. Ok, on that note, this is all you get, because my brain needs to just wander a little and not try to think coherently for a few hours.
