Skykomish

Last weekend I wanted to get out of Seattle. I wanted to be in the mountains. Sometimes I crave the mountains but for some reason I don't visit them nearly much as I want to or used to. I have realized that I took for granted that I literally lived minutes away from Logan canyon- the 30 minute drive (without traffic) seems far.

So Friday afternoon I talked to Becka and asked her/told her that we were going to Skykomish for the weekend. It was just what the doctor ordered. We saw some waterfalls, made leaf piles, threw the tennis ball in the river for Harley, spent time in the hot tub, and went to Leaveworth. I didn't take as many pictures as I should have but here is a mini preview of the weekend.


I am so thankful to live in such a beautiful place and to have a body that allows me to enjoy it. I am thankful for the sights- the trees, the sky, the leafs, the river, the everything! I love the smells and the sounds and how my insides feel when Im in the mountains. I love the mountains. I love Skykomish.

Deal. You name the place and time! If only it were that simple! :) We live in the Tri-Cities now, but we go up to Wenatchee once in a blue moon to visit Josh's sister. Let me know if you are ever in the area!

Is that where you took me? Incredibly beautiful! Love the pics of Harley. I want a Harley. I would be really jealous but I spent the weekend surrounded by mountains in a cabin above Oakley. It was SOOOO wonderful! I want to move there. Do you think that Kelly would mind?
