Happy New Year!




We began 2012 with a hike to South River Falls in Shenandoah National Park. We knew it would be an auspicious (and possibly wet) trek when we saw the rainbow while eating lunch (in the car, with Amity napping in her car seat in back, because it was so cold, and wet...) We would not be deterred (and I stole Wes' hat). Good thing, too, because the falls were amazing. Turns out the trail is a loop, but we weren't certain of the details (how long a loop? how far into the loop were the falls?) so we turned around and headed back. And then it rained. Again. But we made it back to the car and out of the park well in advance of the 5pm gate closing curfew. And had a wonderful time. Next time we'll do the loop.
