MC 5000 foot baby (Mount Baker trip)

Well, we should really be packing and getting ready for our next move but we decided to chuck all that aside on Saturday and head up a Volcano.

Ready for another road trip baby?

This was your longest road trip to date and you did fabulous. We did cramp Mommy's style though. On road trips her motto has always been "go, go, go."

We had to make a few pit stops with you. That's ok we got to go out and smell the wildflowers a bit more.

And find unique places. (Don't ever get married at a place like this)

Sun was beating down and our final destination was Artist's Point at Mount Baker, off in the distance.

The drive up provided for some crazy pretty photo ops.

Some rock formations formed by glaciers.

And a great view of the Nooksack Falls

It also offered some gratuitous views of Mt. Shuskan at Picture Lake

 

and some good family photo ops.

such a happy baby!

Finally reached the last stretch of road. You'd be proud of your mama driving the last stretch up the craziest switchbacks we've ever seen. 

At the top there was snow packed over 30 feet high. In 90 degree weather!

Not a bad way to have your first encounter with snow.

Careful! It's slippery!

Again, more family photo ups at the top.

And what is becoming our ritual of capturing a family self portait.

It was a good day Mai. We continue to be blessed by your road trip-ability and cooperation. We are too lucky. We can't wait until your older so we can come up and do some summer snow events with you. Er.. wait. Scratch that. It might be too dangerous. Either way, your in for a hell of a ride kiddo. :)
