shadowkatTry, try again...I think I finally got it to work. Below the cut are photos taken at Mount Rainier National Park, The Museum of Glass in Tacoma, Washington, the Rose and Flower Gardens at Tacoma, Washington State Park, the Boeing Museum of Flight in Seattle, Washington, Snowsqualmai Falls or Twin Peaks Falls in Snowsqualami (sp?), Washington, and my cousin's dogs.
My cousins' three dogs:
Seattle skyline
Seattle's Bridge Troll
Museum of Glass Pictures
Mount Rainer is the second highest peak in the contiguous US, and the third if you include Alaska. It's part of the Cascades, and is a dormant volcano that could become active at any time. The Glaciers have begun to seriously melt off of it, as you can see in the photos included above.
The Glass Museum has a hot shop, where artists around the world apply to make glass. You can come in and watch them do it.
The Boeing Flight Museum is the largest privately owned flight museum in the US.
While it looks lush and green -- Washington has been really dry, with only 1 inch of rainfall all summer and doesn't get much rain normally during the year. Although they do get a lot more than that.
The weather was amazing when I was there - in the low-mid 70s and 80s during the days, and 40s-60s at night, with low humidity, and crystal blue skies.

We never visited the bridge troll while in Seattle so it was fun to see.
