Sean invited me to share his annual pilgrimage to Mirror Lake along the Pacific Crest Trail for his birthday this year.  I said yes, and we both took the day off work, dropped the kids at daycare,  and headed out I-90 through Snoqualmie Pass to the trailhead. 

We packed fishing gear – a favorite pastime for Sean – the hammock for laying about – everyone’s favorite pastime – and lunch. It was a beautiful day and the trail was practically all ours. 

The last picture really sums up the day,  there were excitement and thrills had by both of us. Mine were mostly related to sleeping in the sun,  reading a funny book and hanging with my man,  but I’ll have to let Sean tell you about his thrills on his own terms.
