On our third day we made it to Mt. Washington in New Hampshire, It was snowing near the top and the winds were over 75mph. We were able to make it half way to the summit. It was interesting to see the snow near the top and the fall colors at the base of the mountain. It was really cold,…

Quechee Gorge
On our second day of the honeymoon, we made it to Vermont. We went to Quechee State Park to see Quechee Gorge before heading to our hotel. The most interesting thing of the hike was seeing a hiking cat. Have you ever seen such a thing? I tried to put my black cat, Rose, into a harness and she fell…
Dramatic Huskies
We’ve all seen husky videos. They are a very dramatic breed. We’ve tried trimming Ghost’s paw furs for months. He cries. He head butts us on accident. We finally gave up and brought him to the groomer. She was able to do everything except his paws. Doesn’t he look great, though? We made an appointment for the 31st just for…
New River Trail
Part of the trail is still closed due to damage from Helene, but we were able to ride from Galax to Fries Junction (12 miles). Once you get to Fries, the trail is closed. We both took our Gunnars today. If you look at the picture of the debris on the bridge pylon below, you’ll see how high the water…
Revolutionary War Cemetery in Chester, VT
The Sunday after our wedding, we just kept on driving. We knew we needed to have a long day if we wanted to spend enough time in Acadia National Park. On the second day of driving, we were heading to Quechee Gorge, VT and stopped in Chester, VT. There were a few cute little shops, but most interestingly, there was…
Fairytale Wedding
The last 4 months has flown by. I was busy planning a wedding and rolling out a new client. Good news– I got a promotion at work. SO exciting. Accepted just over a week ago and it was announced last week. God has been so good to me. When I look back at how far I have come in the…
Table Rock Mountain Sunset
This was the view from our camping spot this past holiday weekend. Table Rock Mountain, NC. The campsite was fantastic. We were the only people around most of the day. Every morning we saw a farm hand feeding the farm animals and that was it. We hiked on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I’ll try to post pictures of each hike.…
Secret Waterfall
On Friday the 5th of July, we traveled down a dirt road (NC 105) to a Forest Road (106) to an unmarked trail to a secret waterfall. What a hike! Marty downloaded the trail map onto his phone and we started off. At some point we got off the trail and had to find our way back. At one point,…
Grotto Falls and Anakeesta
Last weekend, we went to Great Smoky Mountain National Park. We also spent some time at Dollywood. Since we didn’t have Ghost with us, we decided to get at least one trail in. If you didn’t know, there are only two trails in all of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park that allow dogs. Grotto Falls was absolutely beautiful. On…
These Boots Were Made for Weddings
Things are moving along. Work weeks seem to be flying by, for the most part. Rolling out a new client with 109 sites across NC in the four months before the wedding will be an arduous task! But, I am up for it. The project will be complete by then end of September, hence the reason October 12th works perfectly.…
