Ok, next summer trip - Andrea's wedding in Seattle, Washington! Kind of... With Field Hockey under way and school starting that Monday it was a bit of a crazy time to travel to the west coast, but you can't miss your sister-in-law's wedding, so off we went! And boy are we glad we did! We spent a day in Seattle helping Andrea get everything ready to go, got some sushi, hit Pike Place Market and then packed up the rental cars the next day to head for Mount Rainier! After Dad's death-defying trip out there a few years back, I was equally excited to experience it as well as celebrate Andrea's nuptials.
She picked the cutest location just off the National Park. Matt and I got a little log cabin all to ourselves complete with fireplace, kitchenette, and private hot tub! There was a large lodge which housed many of their friends, but the overflow consisted of tents in the clearing just at the foot of the reception site. Yep, camping at a wedding! Never would have imagined that, but they clearly had fun too!
Before hiking up into the woods for their ceremony, Matt and I got to spend the day walking Rainier and it was absolutely beautiful! Not quite how my dad had described it, but then again, we weren't attempting to summit it! Instead we walked the picturesque trails and I made sure to take plenty of flower photos with the mountain as a backdrop!
It was an intimate ceremony up in the woods and we happily welcomed Greg, ironically from outside Hanover PA, I think, as a member of the family! Congrats, Percy!
