The school year in Seattle actually begins with fall, which means it is our week of reckoning 'round here. But last week we squeezed in a few last moments of summer, beginning with a hike on the Pacific Crest Trail. Our walk began with a view of this spire looming above us, but by the end we were looking down on it.
Jerritt and TS did the same hike a couple weeks ago, and recommended it. They were right--pretty nice.
We hiked along a catwalk.
When we reached our turnaround, and stopped for some water and bite of chocolate, this tiny little guy came running along the trail in his shorts and sneakers, holding a water bottle and grinning. Jeez, some people are fit.
I was really impressed with the flat planes and sharp edges of the rocks. Ross and I took the same geology class in college, although we didn't know each other then. Sadly, neither of us remembers much.
It got cold and rainy last week, but the night before the rains came we gathered up some friends for a cookout at Golden Gardens.
Amy is preparing for life in New Zealand beginning in a few weeks.
TS wore a beautiful sheep sweatervest.
Sloan's deviled eggs were a big hit.
It was Craig's birthday, so Ross baked him a cake.
