Brian's Day Off

Brian took the day off on Tuesday to take advantage of the wonderful weather. We decided to drive to Mt Rainier. River was even excited to take the drive. He watched all the new scenery go by and was happy to tell us what he saw. We stopped for lunch in Elbe, at the base of the Mountain, and were pleasantly surprised by how warm it was. We had on jeans and long sleeves and felt overdressed! At The Grove of the Patriarchs we did some hiking, including a side trip. We were the only ones there. We hardly saw anyone at the Park. We drove home thru Morton and Mossyrock. It was nice to see the countryside. Brian and I had not been to Mt. Rainier since I was pregnant with River. The day made us look forward to all of the fun we will have with River next Summer. He already loves the outdoors so much.
