Sunday morning we decided to go hiking up on Mount Rainier. I didn't learn until well over an hour into the drive that we were adventuring out on the advice of Mat's bus driver, the one who ends all her sentences in "and," and provides her captive audience with a rundown of her weekend each Monday morning, over the loudspeaker. By the time we got there, the kids and I were a bit skeptical, but it was really fun to finally see the mountain.
