As Long As Everyone Is Happy

Saehee H.

It was my first summer since I have been living in the US. Therefore, I had been eager to try new activities around Washington state. I had seen and heard many beautiful pictures and stories about Mount Rainier which was my favorite part of summer plan. Going to Mount Rainier was my number one spot on my wish list of all time. 

On the condition that we had to plan to go there, we planned many things such as the accommodation, food, and trails where we should visit. Also, we decided to bring our dog with us. Even the way to visit Mount Rainier was beautiful which made us even more excited. It was full of healthy and old historical looking trees and colorful flowers beautifully harmonized together. Whether or not we were on the top of Mount Rainier, it was still enough to take our breath away.

However, everything was perfect before that time. When we arrived at Mount Rainier, we noticed that it was the place where pets were not allowed. If we had known that we would not have taken our dog with us. We made the decision that someone had to stay with our dog until other family members finished the hiking. Our son, 13, volunteered to stay with our dog at the Mount Rainier parking lot, but I wanted to take him with me. Even though I could not take our son and dog with us, we had a blast at Mount Rainier. The most important thing was everyone was happy where they were. It was one of the most beautiful mountains I have ever visited. Mount Rainier is on my must do activity list for summer.
