Back to Peaks Of Otter. After our hike, we went up the road a bit to have lunch. There was a nice area with picnic tables and the river ran through it. We had the whole place to ourselves! We brought along the grill and made hamburgers which really hit the spot when we were so cold and hungry :)
What a great photo. It makes me smile and smile.
ReplyDeleteGreat picture. Ashlyn's so beautiful and grown up. She looks so much like you. It sounds like a wonderful afternoon.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great family day. I'm enjoying sharing this walk with you. Is it part of the Appalachian trail? I read Bill Bryson's book on that called A Walk Through The Woods and enjoyed it so much. I wish I were fit enough to tackle it...
ReplyDeleteAw, look at your wonderful family! I can see why you're such a proud momma!
