After Brent, Cheryl, Ryan and Kristy came to visit, my mother, Renee stayed with us too. We had a wonderful time, and were even able to convince her to go out on the boat last Saturday. While heading out to North Pass, to silver (coho) salmon fish, we lucked out and witnessed porpoises, and whales around us and in the near distance. Unfortunately the pictures don't do it any justice. Our adventure was highlighted with mom bringing in the lone silver salmon into the boat. I think it may have been her first too! She did well, and had a grin from ear to ear. It is always awesome to hear the excitement of a none experienced fisher person when they bring in their catch of the day.
We also went up the Mt. Roberts Tram and ate dinner at the Timberline Bar and Grill on top for all of our birthdays. Moms was in July, and Robbie and I at the end of August. The ride up and down on the tram only lasts a few minutes, but to my mother, who isn't fond of small tight object floating up in the air, I think was a lifetime. At one point Robbie and I looked over on the way down, and wondered if she was hyperventilating. All in all we had a wonderful dinner and a spectacular view.
As with any of our summer time visitors, we headed out to the glacier to spot bears. We got lucky and saw a black bear fishing in the creek, and walking about the forest.
