MT. Rainier and My Claim to Fame

So, I am really fortunate to have a friend, Jenn Hoffenreich, who sings with the world known Mormon Tabernacle Choir. And, the cool thing is that she likes to hang out and have a good time with me! She definitely has become my claim to fame! She came for a visit at the beginning of July. It was fun to introduce her to alot of my friends in Washington state. We had a great time!!! We saw the fireworks celebrating the 4th of July two nights in a row--once in Eatonville and the other time over beautiful Lake Washington, we enjoyed some much needed rest and relaxation with massages and pedicures, and we enjoyed a day seeing some really TALL ships that came into the Puget Sound in Tacoma. Perhaps the neatest thing that we did was our visit to Mt. Rainier. My good friend, Frank Jastrzembski (a math teacher at my school), took us to see this "little piece of heaven on earth."

Yep! It's true!

I moved to Washington and became a "Tree Huggin" fool!!!

Me, Jenn and Frank at the Grove of the Patriarchs.

This was a really neat place with trees over a thousand years old.

If only they could talk!!!

Ready...one, two, three PUSH!!!
