Mother's Day Weekend in the Methow Valley

We spent a beautiful weekend in the Methow Valley - with perfect weather, an amazing house/property where we stayed (called the hop hop house by Leana), and a scenic and challenging trail marathon (that Jeff I split up half and half).

I understand the allure of trail running now - in exchange for the pounding asphalt, you get to run along hiking trails, which means you get some impressive views and scenery as well as big hills!  I ran past lakes, fields of sunflowers, and at the top had a great view of the snow capped cascades.  But still the best view may have been the finish line: Jeff waiting with Juju in the ergo and Leana running towards me with an oreo in her outstretched hand and a big smile on her face.

 This was a giant king sized bed porch swing!
