Weekend Hike and Gotcha Day!

We finally had a beautiful sunny Saturday in Seattle, it was amazing! I'm pretty sure the entire city was outside yesterday, and about a quarter of it was at Mount Si.

Ellie and I hiked up Mount Si which is 8 miles round-trip and a 3150 foot elevation gain. I like to push myself, so in short, Ellie and I both worked our butts off! There was lots of snow the last mile of the hike which was even more of a challenge because it was sure slippery. Of course, Ellie made it look easy.

We ran the whole way down and Ellie crashed out in the car on the drive back. I made a well-deserved stop at Dairy Queen on the way back and Ellie got a doggy cone. :)

And today is Ellie's gotcha day, I got her two years ago! Happy 2 years to my doggylove :)
