Chicago Millennium Park

I was in Chicago from July 7-11 for a conference. It was my second time to be in Chicago. Chicago is a very nice city with fantastic architecture and great parks. The Millennium Park is one of the many parks in Chicago.

Summer/Winter Hike

I went on a hike with two of my friends on the first weekend of July. It was an area we haven't been to before. The trees were beautiful. The weather was not great. You might see the snow covering the ground. We all had to wear long sleeves and rain jackets. In fact, it was cold and foggy. One of us even said "we should come back when it is summer"!

Seattle Skyline

I went to a park at Queen Anne with a friend of mine on Sunday. The weather was very nice. Seattle downtown skyline was quite pretty, wasn't it?

Summit View on the Granite Mountain

Two weeks ago, Amenda and I hiked up to the Granite Mountain. One third of the hike was still covered with snow. The weather was very nice. We had great views on the summit.
