A day trip to the mountains...

One of the best parts about living in NH is that we're close to cities, oceans and mountains. There are so many amazing things to see and do!

This weekend we decided to do a little day trip to the mountains. I can remember doing this with my parents when I was little. I'm very "traditions" oriented, and I find myself always trying to recreate moments from my past with Rowan. Does anyone else out there do this?

Anyhoo, we had an amazing time, and I was very humbled by the shear size of Franconia Notch , the area we drove through.
The Notch coming into view


The Basin - a natural pool of water created by 1000's of years of flowing water


This water was ice cold.. but how could I resist!


The little miss and I, she is so goofy


She adored playing in the water


I heart him


I wish a picture could show you how huge this thing is


Boise Rock - being held up by my little super hero ;)

The "NO man" of the mountain, so sad that its gone!

Photo Friday - what do you love about yourself?

These are my feet. I can't really say enough about these lovely beauties.

For one, there's that kick-azz Henna inspired tattoo I've got there, designed by yours truly.

Second, how could you not love those awesome flip flop tan lines?

Third and most important, these bad boys are my life line to the road. The road I run on.... for miles and miles.

The feet that have propelled me for all those miles, helping me lose 60 pounds, that are getting me through half marathon training, and the ones that help me chase around my beautiful red headed daughter.

These bad boys are definitly my favorite thing about myself.... for all of the amazing things they've done for me.

Afternoon Delight - Photo Friday

Miss Calliope asked for photos this week, concerning what we do with our afternoons. That time of day for me is usually when running, cleaning and all other chores are done, and I get to spend time with my munchkin.

So without further ado.. a montage of my afternoons...

Photo Friday

I thought this would be fun to do. I have a simple point and shoot camera, but I think with some editing, even point and shoot photos can be beautiful :)

This weeks theme was Cooking and beverages!

I'm calling this beauty "Pan sauce in Cast iron"
