Getaway with the Girls

I've gotten to know a lot of the gals in the neighborhood in the last year or two. I work out a few days a week with some of them, carpool, our kids are in school together, bonfires...stuff like that. A group of nine of us headed up north last weekend. This was the second annual trip for several of us and since there are 24 kids between us, we were all looking forward to some time away!

All nine of us just before starting our 13-14 mile hike.


Some of us taking a load off.

There was an ice storm the week before and a lot of trees were down over the trails.
A few areas were a little tricky to get through.

A pit stop.
There were two campsites along the hike - not sure I'd like to camp that remotely, but it would be perfect if that's your thing!

Everyone but me - the views were beautiful.
Fall colors were maybe just past their peak, but still stunning.

Another one of the downed trees.
This was one of the "easier" ones since we could just duck under it!
