Mt. Rainier National Park

Not a could in the sky today! We are so glad we decided to stay one more day. The mountain really is amazing! We basically did the same drive we did yesterday, only this time we actually SAW the mountain in all those "view" points.


Mt. Rainier

We didn't have the energy to do any hiking today, though, so we just did a nice drive and headed to our next destination... HOME!

As we got closer and closer to Seattle, we both felt excited and sad at the same time. Glad to be done, as this has truely been exhausting, but sad to be done, as this has been truely exhilerating!

We both said the same thing when we saw the city, "Has Seattle gotten bigger in the last twon months?" Suddenly Seattle seems huge to us. We just spend two months traveling on side roads in small towns throughout the country. We only hit cities and traffic here and there. Am I ready for the hustle and bustle again?

We got home only about 2 and a half hours after leaving Rainier and engaged in a much-too-long search for the house key while our kitties meowed in the window. It was awesome, once we got in they greated at the door us like we hoped, and sniffed us all over for about 10 minutes. Oh how we missed our guys!

After hanging out with the boys, I just couldn't take it and had to clean up and unwrap all the souvenirs. It is great fun opening up stuff from a month or two ago! I have 30 new shotglasses!!

And now we are home, and fighting off reality for as long as we can. What an amazing two months... thanks for coming along the journey with us through this blog.

Hope you enjoyed our stories and pictures.
