Labor Day Weekend

Labor Day weather here was SO nice, and MC and I were both lucky enough to have the day off. He headed out fishing, so my friend and I decided to hike Mt. Verstovia (elevation 2500). It was FANTASTIC. Hard but well worth it. AND I was actually able to get out of bed this morning. Pretty amazing since I've never attempted anything that requires that much energy! :) Here are some views from the top (kind of a panoramic view from up there). What a great way to end the summer!

End of Summer

Of course Labor Day weekend is here, which means summer is over! Boo! We have had other clues to that, mainly the days getting shorter. Right now the day length is probably normal, but I know that dark at 4pm is around the bend! The weather has also been getting yuck with a few absolutely gorgeous days sprinkled in. I took some pics on my walk this morning to show how one of these fantastic days starts out (quality is not so great b/c it's on my phone-when will I learn to always go out with a camera!. :) The other pics are of us enjoying a beautiful summer day hiking Beaver Lake/Herring Cove. A nice day here is worth the rainy ones. :) However...we know that the fall will be long so we've planned a break to HAWAII! :) It will be just what we need when it's been 30 rainy days in a row. :)
