"botanical gardens"

zack and me at the nc botanical gardens this weekend (that actually just ended up being some nature trails and a small conservation garden).
very beautiful but not quite what we were anticipating!

Backpacking Trip #1

(Mike can't be seen in the above picture because he was
so far ahead of everybody else!)

Last weekend, Jamie, Mike and I joined four other friends on a weekend backpacking trip. We had a great time and Mike did a fabulous job on his very first backpacking trip. We didn't tell him until Saturday afternoon that this trail was one of the more difficult in Pennsylvania.

(Mike wasn't up for breakfast yet. . . quite the sleepyhead!)

"Jonathan, Ashley and Sophie came to the lake house with us last weekend. It is always so much fun. Sophie made my day by saying "JeeJee....I think you are a wonderful girl".
