Today we woke up at the Holiday Inn, had breakfast and then hit the road. Before leaving, we caught a view of the gorgeous fields in Pendleton Oregon.
Around 3:00 we made it to Mt. Rainier. We were blown away by the view of Mt Rainier, and we were also stunned by the wildflowers. We wandered through the paradise area trails, and I think it was the most spectacular display of wildflowers that I have seen in my life. We had an incredible time. Lily says it is her new favorite National Park. It’d have to think about it, but it’s certainly up there for me, maybe top 5. It was an incredible visit.
Afterwards, we drove to Clark and Swathi’s. They hadn’t arrived home yet with Meera and Soren (they were still traveling back from a Croatia/Switzerland trip), but Mani was there and she fed us a delicious authentic Indian dinner.
