Gramma Jackie Climbs Mt. Whitney

My mom turned 65 last month, and to celebrate, she climbed Mt. Whitney. I feel proud and inspired.

She camped for six days with my step dad Jim, and they carefully timed it so that their ascent would be on Mom's birthday. Perfect weather for a view of hundreds of miles. I got goose bumps when she called me with her cel phone from the top.

A birthday present to herself. Impressive.
