We are having a wonderful time with our visitors from Illinios...Frank's brother and sister in law, Jim and Mary. One of the things our guests wanted to see was some mountains up close, and since Frank and I hadn't yet been up to Mount Baker, we drove up there yesterday. Wow, was that a beautiful drive and the scenery was breathtaking!! The Mount Baker Highway actually takes you around to the east side of Mount Baker, which is an approach we had not ever seen as our views of the mountain had always been from the south or west.
There were other snowy peaks around this area, as well as many green meadows and majestic pines below the tree line. We think we even spotted a small herd of mountain goats in the distance. It was a beautiful day and it was even a little warm after doing some hiking around Artists Point.
On a side note, this coming Saturday is our 17th Anniversary and Frank bought me a really big present. We drove it up to Mount Baker as we weren't sure our old van would be up to the task. It performed great and we enjoyed playing with all the toys in there. Thanks, Honey, for 17 wonderful years and for my new truck!
Today we're sticking fairly close to home with a tour through Frank's school and a drive to a cute nearby town followed by lunch at our favorite Mexican restaurant. Tomorrow is a Seattle day, and then we're off to Victoria for a few days. We're having a great time but it seems like time is going by way too fast. I'll update again this weekend.
