This weekend the weather warmed up and we decided to hop in the car and visit one of my favorite places (
now only an hour away) - White Mountain National Forest. My family vacationed here when we were young children and then as I got older my dad took me on countless backpacking trips through the Whites. Each time I can remember driving home thinking... I love this place....this is where I want to live... And now, several years later, here we are - right in the thick of it.
We drove up to Lincoln, passed the classic touristy Clarks Trading Post and Whale's Tale Water Park, and had our sites set on Indian Head Trail, a 1.9 mile moderate hike up Mt. Pemigewasset. And well, it kicked my butt pretty hard on the way up.... 7 months pregnant and my center of gravity is slightly off... not to mention the pounds I am packing... but it was so worth it. The foliage is just starting to turn and the views were great.
sweaty back
yes...we got a good work out (both aaron and i were carrying an extra 30 pounds)
foliage and a sweaty bump
silliness
And on Sunday we enjoyed a visit from Nana and GG. The weather was picture perfect again and we enjoyed likely our last grilled burger and pasta salad for this year (outside anyways).
