Washington!

We planned to spend 2 days post-cruise in Washington.  The first day, we planned to visit Mt. Rainier.  We drove to the park, but it was a typical drizzly Washington day, so we couldn't see the top of Rainier.  The weather forecast in one of the visitor centers said the next day would be lovely.  We changed our Seattle day plans and decided to make a return trip to Seattle/Vancouver, Canada, and spend another day at Rainier.  We left Rainier and drove to Mt. St. Helens to see if it was less obscured by clouds.  It wasn't.  So we decided to drive to Oregon and eat dinner (mark off another "state visited" for the boys).  The next day, as predicted, was gorgeous.  Loved seeing Mt. St. Helens,

and Mt. Rainier, as well as the entire park, was gorgeous.
