June in Paradise

I just returned from RailsConf, a conference all about Ruby on Rails. Many bloggers have written about it so I won't summarize it further. In the coming days I will be posting on various of my discoveries and contacts made.

For today though I want to just direct your attention to the picture on the left. After the conference (which was in Portland Oregon) we drove to Seattle and spent one full day in Mount Rainier National Park.

This was around June 3d. We stayed at the Paradise Inn.

The Paradise Inn is at 5,000' elevation.

I knew it wasn't going to be warm, and we brought our winter coats. But we were surprised by the 30 foot snow banks!

Yes, that's me in the picture :)
