The day we disembarked in Seattle from our cruise to Alaska was ridiculously hot, and the forecast for the next day was no better. So we rented a car and took off for Mount Rainier.
It was a two-hour drive, and what a change! We drove up about 5,000 feet, or about a third of then way to the top, and the weather was about 10 degrees cooler, in the high 70s. And there was snow! It was melting, but we actually couldn't take our planned walk because the trail was completely covered. As Atticus said, he now knows what it feels like to wear Crocs in the winter. We even made snowballs ... in June!
Paul picked up some cherries from a roadside stand on our way back to Seattle, so at least I had a good snack at our airport hotel that night. The next day: home.
