Just wanted to share a few highlights from our weekend. Saturday we took a trip to the mountains and did some hiking in Tellico. We had a nice time. The weather was perfect and the fall colors were absolutely beautiful.
Another thing we have missed is hiking. Hard to believe that it has actually been over a year since we have been on a hiking trip. And today we had a nice, moderate 4-mile hike to get back into it. Definitely got to work on getting our endurance back! Ha ha! But it was nice to be out there and away from all the other 'stuff' that is going on. Hopefully there will be more trips to talk about in the near future, but for now, the baby is asleep and my body is tired - so it is time for some rest.
Today we went back to the nature park. We are working to increase our endurance by traveling new, more difficult trails and longer distances. Since the new trails were much more quiet and not traveled as much, there were more signs of wildlife, which of course was exciting. Today we hiked 4.6 miles with our lunch break at the “Hidden Lake” again, under ‘our shade tree.’ The day was absolutely beautiful and peaceful.
Today we went on our first actual, official hiking trip together.And we had a great time!We went to a nature park, which has several hiking trails prepared with different difficulty levels.We decided to attempt our first hike with an intensity of 3 out of 5, and we will build our endurance from there.The 3 out of 5 was a good test, and we did well with that as our starting point.We hiked 3.9 miles today.Our halfway point ended at the “Hidden Lake,” where we had a lovely picnic under a shade tree.

This was also our anniversary weekend! We really couldn't have asked for a more beautiful weekend to celebrate our 10 years together. We have been so blessed!
