Mt. Rainier

This was our last visit to one of Washington's finest National parks. We wished we would've camped there, but we didn't even think of it til we were there; oh well. We ended up going on a hike, which we though just a nice easy hike, well we ended up taking a little 1.7 mile from the original easy hike, and the entire 1.7 miles was uphill!! it was tuff!! My butt and calves are even a little sore ;) We're going to miss the beauty of WA; but we are so excited to be going back home! But first we will visit our friend Trish in Alaska for 1 week, we have always wanted to visit Alaska and it's gonna be great, lots of fun!! lots of pics!
Anyways, we were supposed to have visited this park while Xiomi was here but it was rainy and cloudy; but we still ended up visiting Mt. Baker (closer to where we live).
So the packing has begun; it's a good thing it's not too much and we're leaving a couple of things behind too. Sofia and I will be flying out on the 8th back to Albuquerque, and Aaron starts the long drive back home. Pray for safe travels for us please.
