Our friend Laura met us at our place Friday as I was getting in from work and we all quickly loaded the car and headed out to dinner. After grabbing a mexican dinner and letting the traffic clear off of I5 we headed up to Baker. It only took about 2 hours before we were walking in the door. Ross and Stephanie had gotten out of work around 4 so they were already settled into the cabin. We unpacked broke open a few drinks and took it easy the rest of the night.
Saturday morning the girls went for a little hike while Ross and I loaded up our snowboards and hit the mountain. This was the first time I have been snowboarding at Mount Baker and it was a great time. The sun was shining, there was not a cloud in the sky and life was great. We rode for a few hours, had a beer and lunch on the deck at the base of the mountain and took in the view. After relaxing in the sun for about an hour we hit the mountain for a bit longer and then headed back to the cabin.
Saturday night was spent listening to music, sitting in the hot tub, and enjoying the fact that not only did we not have any cell service but we could not pick up a single radio station.
Sunday we had a leisurely breakfast before hitting the road for Seattle.
Once we got back and were unpacked my neighbor Jake and I moved our newest 9310 Stone Brewery beer (a brown ale this time) into secondary fermentation. It is going to be tasty.
Now I have just enough time to finish the book I am reading and maybe start on another one.
Only two weeks before Natalie and I head out to Hawaii for 9 days!! What a rough life we lead. :)
