More from Paradise

Dinner in the trees -- we took along a camping stove and enjoyed a secluded dinner on the side of the mountain in lieu of pork tenderloins in the lodge.  We even used our Element tent as a barrier to keep our buns dry from the snow. Not only did we save $50, but we had a perfectly strange variety of food dinner and will remember it as a highlight from the weekend. 

A few more shots from Paradise Lodge at Mt. Rainier...over 15 feet of snow left on the ground didn't quite allow for the same views at Reflection Lake, but that just means we'll have to come back for another photo shoot someday.
