Mount Ranier 2023

To end July we went on our annual trip to Seattle! 
The first night was Mexican night and I had some sort of reaction to the food or drink. 
I felt some pressure on my chest at dinner but then it went away. 
When we stepped outside Greg noticed my face was bright red. 
I didn't even notice my lips were swollen until I saw this picture. 


The next day, all of us, except Greg who had to work, headed to the Mount Ranier Gondola.
We stopped at this food truck to get some lunch for a picnic.






After lunch we headed to the gondola.
Of course we had to get a dramatic picture on a bridge before getting in line to board.


This is not the top of the mountain in the picture. It goes way beyond this.


But nothing can prepare you for the sight you see when you step off the gondola.


There was a wedding getting ready to start at the top. 
The attendees were heading up on the gondola as we were heading back down.


After checking into our airbnb, and having dinner, we played Pictionary. Greg drove up to join us.


The next day was hiking day.





We reached the waterfall!


Mia took some time to sketch.



Back at the airbnb, Anna, Paige and Chase cooked dinner!


The next day we headed back to Seattle, but first stopped at Northwest Trek.



The bald eagle was in a cage, but still impressive.



For our last night, we went to teppanyaki!


Another National Park checked off, but more importantly some special time with the Martins!
