Mt. Rainier

Well I went hiking up at Mt. Rainier with my Dad and had a blast!  Nevermind that it was a 7 hour hike up a mountain and back and that my legs/hips/arms feel like lead this morning on top of being really sore.  I would definitely do it again!  We hiked up to Lake George near Emerald Ridge and, while constantly moving because stopping would mean being eaten alive by mosquitos, I got some really great pictures!  The water was such a beautiful icy blue, almost the color of Hawaiian waters, but much much colder.  Then after we walked/dragged ourselves back down we had dinner at the cutest little restaurant which was in an old boxcar.  Pretty awesome day, so enjoy!
