We hiked Mt. Si after work tonight. It was clear at the top and we had great views of Snoqualmie Valley.

Can you spot Rainier behind us?

Adjusting my shoe before the downhill trek:

Last weekend was Eric's 32nd birthday. Jerry, Stacy, and the two of us went to Bend for some sun and fun. I love Bend- I would move there in a heartbeat!

On the trail:

Last weekend was a real hodge-podge of activities.

-Friday night Eric took me on a date to 7-11 for slurpees and hot dogs. He sure knows how to treat a lady right.
-Saturday we rode at Tiger and later paddled the Sammamish Slough. After dinner we capped off the evening with a 1930's movie about the dangers of marijuana.
-Sunday we ran at Tiger and then ended up drinking wine 'till midnight at a neighbor's house.

Today we had a bear encounter in our neighborhood. Fortunately I saw it out of the corner of my eye at 50 yards out, otherwise we probably would've walked right in front of it.
