You must be super excited to meet this guy in a few weekends:

At Whale’s Tale

Maybe next time you can come and hold my hand and give me kisses and show me some of your childhood memories.

After a late night arrival at Dolly Copp camground, and a short nights sleep, we were up early to hike Mt Washington via Lions Head trail, and hopefully beat the runners up the hill.  After a quick stop at DD in Gorham, we were fueled up and ready to go.  For the record, Chris got a turkey sausage breakfast sandy and a toasted almond iced coffee, Rachel got a blueberry muffin toasted with cream cheese, hash browns, a french vanilla iced coffee with sausage… haha what?

 On the way to Pinkham Notch, we saw a moose!

Goodmorning!!

 Using the camera buddy for the first time

 You must have learned this from Abby!  Sorry for the low quality pictures here…

Myself!

Rachel, with a view of Tuckerman’s behind.  Tuckerman’s trail was still closed due to unmelted snow 🙁

Rachel sucking it in to squeeze through a crevasse

Huh? WTF!!  You didn’t tell me we could have driven up here!!!

The runners taking their summit photo, woohoo!  Wonder what Casey is clutching in his pocket???

Wow, thats a really messed up joke… Wait, for real?!

You earned it!  And with a very impressive time 😉

Last night when I brought my bike into the hotel, I tucked my car keys in the waist band of my gym shorts and underwear.  Apparently I forgot to take them out of there once I got into my room, because I woke up this morning with a little soreness in that area.  I wasn’t sure what it was, so I reached down and sure enough, my keys were right there under me as I slept all night.  They left a nice imprint.

Ducks may walk around all willy nilly, but geese seem to be easier to get in a row.
