Monday was the first full day off we've had since our long holiday break and we heading to Washington Park with Mat and Leah to hike. Washington Park, which includes Japanese gardens and the rose garden, is connected to Forest Park, which, with its 40 miles of hiking trails, is the largest city park in the US! The place is only half an hour away from our house--we definitely need to go more often!
It was beautiful out and warm in the sun, but much of the ground was frozen (along with my toes) and it could be very chilly in the shadows!We had a gorgeous view of Mt St. Helens from a few spots.
Mat found this pole early on and used it as a walking stick.
Happy hikers.
I love that we live in a place where winter hiking is a reasonable option for a half-day outing.
We warmed up afterward at a great place that Justin Horn (a college friend of Eric's) introduced us to: the Goose Hollow Inn. Hot coffee and delicious, melty sandwiches. Mmmm...
