Two years ago, I adulted hard by buying a townhouse to celebrate birthday #32. I spent the month painting (a mountain mural!), boxing, and moving. Not so much with the birthday celebrating.

Then, a year later, my boyfriend bought a house and we once again spent my birthday month painting, prepping, boxing, and moving.

This year, I was like HELL NO! We are skiing our faces off for my birthday, and that’s just what we did for month 79 of Turns All Year. I got in 4 ski days. Two were the epic HelensHood Twofer, another day was on Eldorado, where we experienced a sub-optimal suffering:skiing ratio, then finished off with a gallant attempt at Mt. Baker, where we chose skiing over summitting.

Here are my favorite photos:

May 13 – MY BIRTHDAY! – Mt. St. Helens
If you haven’t read the actual trip report from this combo trip with Mt. Hood, I encourage you to do so. As a teaser, here are just a few photos.

It’s Ben’s birthday too! Happy Birthday Benny!

May 14 – Mt. Hood!

More great photos from this trip on the volcano conundrum post. 

The crux of the trip. Two bathrooms. Three people.
