I was supposed to go with the scouts to Mt Rainier on friday night and help with the snow caving campout. But due to a conflict with a Daddy/Daughter date at church I couldn't go. I still had 1/2 a day off so I went for a hike. There is research forest associated with the university of Washington about 20 miles south of our home so I drove down there. It was a glorious day for February. Not a cloud in the sky. The hike through the forest is interesting. There were several different types and sizes of trees as this area has been used as a research center for almost 100 years.
The hike I did was two miles each way and almost climbed 2000 feet. On the way up I could see across the sound and see the Olympic Mountains. I was huffing and puffing. It was a pretty hike even if the view from the top was fairly boring as you can see in the following picture.
I stopped on the way home and took some pictures of the Mountain. I’m sad I didn’t get to go snow caving up there but the girls and I had fun. The theme of the dinner we went to was ‘an evening in paris’. We had French Food and got to draw portraits of each other.

Both the daddy daughter date and the hike sound fun! It sounds cool to have been able to see across the sound to the Olympics!
Isn't Washington great?! I have been loving this spring weather! I have been taking advantage of the warm weather to shovel drainage rock and topsoil in my yard. Fun times. I hope to be done before the rain comes tomorrow. After I'm done, it's my turn to go on hikes!
Nothing is more fun than daddy-daughter dates. And what could be better than two beautiful daughters for your date! Pictures please!
I loved going on Daddy daughter dates ... we had fun, fun, fun! The hike looks interesting too!
That looks like a great hike. The green looks so nice, I am ready for the spring to make it's way to Spokane
