Mom and I started the weekend early by hiking Mt Washington. We had great weather: sunshine and little wind, but that did lead to some sunburn (first of the year!). We went up the Boott Spur route, which was a lovely trail with no crowds and we went down the Lion's Head route, which was très-rocky and required some rock climbing skills to get down. I also climbed some boulders on the way up, thinking of how proud Ching-Hua would be.
I must say, I was not impressed with the peak itself, as it is quite ugly with its rounded, uninteresting shape, and the towers sticking out, and the parking lots with tons of people once you get there. Anyway though, this was a good hike and mom wanted to come here for a long time, so well worth it. Got to visit Alex too, and she cooked us some ridiculous meatballs (Thanks!!).
