Day trip to Mt St Helens

We met John & Stephanie's fam at Mt. St. Helens for the day! Too bad there are like five visitor centers, leading us on a teeny goose chase to find eachother. At least we live in the era of cell phones, otherwise we would have been out of luck. We explored the Johnston Ridge Observatory, did a tiny baby hike, and then enjoyed lunch together at the local diner. I give them props, they win the award for most miles driven in a day, and youngest child toted along! It was fun to see a national monument, my first time there :)

Cousins!
