August 22 - Spruce Creek Hike

Hiking time! JD, Julia and Luke drove to Spruce Creek Trail and hiked 4 miles. They planned a few more miles but it started to thunder and they headed back. The scenery was beautiful and they all said it was fabulous. I think the kids favorite part were the walking sticks they found! There were so many awesome pictures from the hike it was tough to pick a few for this blog. So..hope you enjoy them!

As for Jillian and I, we had another great day of donuts and hot chocolate, fun at the park, trips around town in the trolley and journeys up and down the mountain on the gondola. We also went shopping and she picked out this flamingo purse and unicorn stuffed animal. She was very proud wearing her new purse around town!

When JD and the kids came back, I took a walk from our condo to the top of where the gondola ends (at the adventure park). It was a beautiful walk and nice to experience the great outdoors without carrying around a toddler LOL. I took the gondola back down the mountain, found a cute little restaurant and had a glass of wine and then headed back to the condo for dinner. After dinner, JD and the kids swam and then we headed into town for dessert. It was a fabulous day!
