"Today I have grown taller from walking with the trees."
James and I were able to get a mini break this month to visit his family in Virginia. It is so nice to finally be here while the weather is still warm and sunny, as opposed to the winter months when we usually visit for the holidays. We were out and about almost every day, which made this past week fly by so quickly that I am having trouble remembering all the details. I do remember walking. A LOT. A lot of exercise for an inactive body like mine.
We went to several different parks and trails in the area. Here's a super short recap of our time in the woods.
- Surrounded by trees and enveloped by nature. Explored the woods with Ninja on his first hike and he LOVED it.
- Ninja had his first real "Squirrel!" moment from the movie Up, which only confirmed that he is not to be trusted and can never ever be off leashed. We are not being dramatic when we say he almost jumped to his death by leaping off the overlook deck onto the tree branches. If James had not pulled him back at that moment...yikes!
- Played with Ninja on the jungle gym. Ninja went down his first slide (more like I pushed him down). Nevertheless, James and I were proud parents.
Everything's still a blur as of right now. Have not completely recovered from our long drive home yet. Ninja is pooped and passed out from last week's adventures. James is backed at work. For me? Well, I guess it's laundry time!
