This weekend felt like the first weekend of spring for us. We did a lot of fun things with family and were outside a lot. I'm hoping our weekends going forward look a lot like this one did, we had a blast!
We started Friday off heading up to Gigi and Papa's house for dinner because Grandpa Kent, Marsha, and Spencer were visiting for the weekend. We had a great time catching up and had a very yummy dinner.
Saturday morning we got up bright and early to hit the road to do one of my very favorite hikes in the area, the Cascades. This is a very popular hike and is about an hour away from our house, so we tried to leave by 8 am so we could get there hopefully before most of the crowd. Success! We were two of maybe four cars in the parking lot when we got there.
We strapped Charlotte onto Gigi and headed to the trail, Baby's First Hike! We took the Lower Trail up to the Falls which was nice, but a little challenging for some of our group with a lot of rocks, steps, and some slippery spots. But it was nice, covered by the trees, ran beside the water the whole way and beautiful! Charlotte really enjoyed looking at the running water and all the new sites. We are so excited to get her out on the trail regularly!
For the hike down we took the Upper Trail which is cleared more than the lower trail and easier to go down. That was a relief for all of us! Charlotte napped for most of the hike down, strapped to her Daddy's chest.
After our hike, we went into Blacksburg for lunch at the Mellow Mushroom. Adam's choice for his birthday! We worked up quite the appetite on the hike and devoured some very yummy salads, pizzas, and had a few good brews. Once we made it home we did a lot of lounging Saturday evening. It was the perfect day!
Sunday morning we got up bright and early and Adam did a little house cleaning while Charlotte and I played. Then we headed up to Gigi and Papas for the day. We sat outside in the sun, played some corn hole, did our nails, and had a yummy dinner. Just a great Sunday!
As you can see, we had a very fun weekend, I hope you did too! I hope the rest of the week is just as lovely!
