Birthday In Paradise

Tomorrow is my birthday and in the morning I'll be heading to my favorite place on Earth, Paradise on Mount Rainier. We'll be meeting my sister and brother-in-law at Longmire Lodge, just inside the National Park boundary at 10:00 AM. From there we'll see the sights, walk in the wild flower meadows, hike the flanks of the mountain and peer into glaciers, have a picnic lunch, and then check in for our overnight at Paradise Inn. We'll have birthday dinner in the dining room of the inn. I hope to get up early Saturday to take some photos in the morning light, depending on the weather. I know it will be sunny tomorrow. I did this four years ago for my birthday and it was perfect. I hope to make it even more so by sharing it with my sister, who's birthday is Monday. I'll be back with photos in a few days.

    Well...Happy Birthday, to you and to your sister. I'm pretty sure it will be as perfect as you dream it will be.

    And I for one can't wait to see the photos you take of Paradise.
