This is a view looking down from Mt. Rainier at 7,000 ft.

If you want to view all the 100 or so pictures right away, here's a link to the Flickr set for the entire trip and here's a link to the slidshow of those same pictures. Otherwise here's a brief re-cap:

• We started our trip by visiting Shanna, Juan, and their new baby boy, Isaiah.
• It just so happened that the same time we were in town, Seattle was having its city festival (Bite of Seattle). We're always up for music and food, so we headed over there for a Saturday afternoon.
• Another thing we did while we were there was to go to Pike's Place Market in downtown Seattle. This is where those crazy knife-bearing fishermen throw around fish parts and yell. It's actually quite entertaining.
• From here, we went camping and hiking at Mt. Rainier. This was my favorite part of the trip scenary-wise. Views were breathtaking. In some upcoming posts, I'll be picking out some of my favorite photos from this set.
• We then, traveled down some windy one-lane gravel roads with mountain turn-outs, and found our way to the foot of Mt. Adams were we camped and kayaked.
• Our final camping and hiking stop was at Mt. St. Helen's. The devastation still left from when it exploded in 1980 was astonishing.
• On our way back to Seattle, to catch the plane, we stopped to take a look at the Tacoma Narrows bridge to satisfy my historical appetite and my K5 sensibilities.
