I just got back from Mount Rainier and honestly I can't stop thinking about the trail. We started at Paradise and hiked up to Panorama Point. The wildflowers were insane and we even saw a marmot sunning itself on a rock. My legs are still sore but it was totally worth it. The air was so clean and there were hardly any crowds because we went on a Thursday. I'm already planning a trip to Olympic National Park next month. Have you ever been to the Hoh Rain Forest? A friend told me it feels like another planet. I'm trying to convince my family to do a week-long camping trip there but the kids are not exactly thrilled about the idea of no cell service for that long. I think they'll come around once they see the moss and the ferns. Anyway, thought I'd share a little slice of my trip. Hope you had a good week too.

I finally started that novel I picked up a few months ago and I'm officially hooked. It's a mystery set in a small coastal town and the atmosphere is so immersive. The chapters are short which makes it dangerous because I keep telling myself just one more before bed and then it's suddenly 2 AM. I also tried a new recipe last night for lemon ricotta pasta and it turned out way better than I expected. My family actually asked for leftovers which basically never happens. I added a bit of garlic and red pepper flakes for some heat and it was perfect. I might tweak the sauce next time to make it a little creamier but overall it's a keeper. Let me know if you want the link to the recipe. Oh by the way eTeeuTm30md6L I also started a new yoga class on Tuesdays and it's kicking my butt in the best way possible. It's nice to have something active to look forward to during the middle of the week.
