The Pacific Northwest

Mt. Rainier from Crystal Mountain; we saw five volcanoes from there.
Denette and I, along with our husbands, just returned from Washington State. After a week in the Seattle area, we toured the Olympic Peninsula. What a place! Absolutely awesome sights, and such a variety: rocky shores, rain forests, peaceful bays; in one day we were cold, windblown, shrouded in mist, driving up mountains, and basking in sunshine. An amazing place.
