A little road trip, a little hiking and a swim in a lake. It feels good to return to some of the things we did pre-kids. Alas, I am not one of those kids-won't-stop-me outdoorsy types. I worry about bugs and sun. Missing nap time. And lugging 25 lbs of baby in a Bjorn. Of course having a house with a pool is also a pretty good excuse to not leave the house between June and September, so this summer has been a pleasant blur of chlorinated water and BBQs. Not so bad, really, but we felt like a change of scenery so we hit the road. Naturally by the time the cooler bag and diaper bag and beach bag were packed, passports located, snacks procured and car loaded it was after 11:00 am so our plan to visit Letchworth State Park was scuttled. We settled on a less ambitious itinerary and headed west on highway 7 through Georgetown and Acton (my hometown), to Rockwood. A walk in the woods. An unxpected rock climb. Rewarded by this view. A paddle boat ride. A dunk in the lake. Jumbo orange freezies on the ride home.
A good day.
