Good day!
We started a family tradition last year. After the rush of Summer is over, we go explore some place in the west. A national park or two must be included. Last year was dedicated to parts of Arizona and New Mexico. This year we flew into Seattle, WA. Spent a few days exploring Mt. Rainier, Mt. Saint Helens, and surrounding area. Then we ventured over to Montana and enjoyed the beauty of Glacier National Park.
Exploring the natural and wild parts of the world is something that is important to me. To share this with my family brings me so much joy. Being out west, hiking miles of trails and thousands of feet helped me to reset and refocus.
We were excited to get back home early this morning. A lot of what we experienced this last week inspired us. It gave us time to think about the land and our surrounding community. We are so lucky to live in an incredibly beautiful region, with lots to explore. Looking forward to highlighting these things and finding ways to inspire more people to enjoy and protect it.
There is a higher chance than usual to see the Aurora Borealis tonight, 10/05! We’ll be out on the Observatory deck around 8:00 p.m. and hanging out until about 10:00 or so. Phillip plans to have the telescope going, potentially observing Saturn. Feel free to pop in whenever! If the lights are peaking later, feel free to come by and use the deck. We just ask that you be quite and respectful to our neighbors.
