I had a vacation from work, so Hubby and I packed up and visited the kids. I got a much needed family fix!
We also went to one of our favorite places to spend a vacation…Mt. Rainier. You can see a few photos from previous trips by clicking here and here.
This time, I am going to share a lot of photos, so this will be a picture heavy post. In fact, the next couple of blog posts will be picture heavy. My good camera bit the dust some time ago, and has never been replaced, but the pocket camera does a decent job.
There is no internet/cell service at Mt. Rainier, but visiting in October is well worth the disconnect from the rest of the world!

In the past, Hubby and I have camped with a tent, but on this trip we stayed at the lodge in Longmire.
The mountain was out! This is the view when standing in front of the lodge. As you can see, the weather was great!
We drove up to Paradise and spent time hiking up there. One can spend days at Paradise as there are several trails to choose from.
Yours Truly hiking at Paradise.
Myrtle Falls
The weather is quite changeable. A snowstorm breezed through on the mountain while we were hiking.
Yes, the mornings were quite cool, but the fall color and majesty of the park are well worth the visit!
