At 6,288 feet, Mt. Washington is the tallest peak in New England and the second tallest on the Appalachian Trail (about 350 feet shorter than Clingmans Dome in Tennessee). And I think it goes without saying that this was the tallest peak that I’ve summited. And the most rewarding. We started our day very early … Continue reading Hiking Mount Washington
With just over two months to go until our section hike of the southern Vermont portion of the Appalachian Trail/Long Trail, David wanted us to get in a little bit more of a strenuous hike. What I wasn’t prepared for was 12 miles of up and down and over 8 hours hiking. Needless to say, … Continue reading Hiking Killington Mountain
I think 2018 is shaping up to be the year of hiking! We’ve been up Mount Wachusett, Mount Greylock, and now we can add Mount Watatic to that list. David suggested we go up to Vermont, but considering the hot weather was on its way, I wanted to keep it close to home and not … Continue reading Hiking Mt. Watatic
I always enjoy these little peeks in to someone's day, so I thought I would make the effort to take pictures throughout the day and let you know what goes on in my life! 4:45AM - My alarm goes off but I always snooze it for another 9 minutes. 5AM - Shower time.

Hiking of course! When David and I were first dating, we would go on a lot of … Continue reading Hiking Wachusett Mountain
After having a child, the holidays and weekend activities (see: Family Time at the Stone Zoo) become so much more fun and involved. We love introducing her to new experiences, and even though I know she won't retain much, it's just a joy to see her taking in her surroundings. Yesterday we attended a BBQ/pool … Continue reading Fourth of July 2018
Before I left work on Friday afternoon, one of my co-workers asked if I wanted two passes to the Stone Zoo. The catch though? They expired on Sunday, July 1st! I, of course, said yes and this ended up being a perfect weekend since David and I had nothing planned. We arrived a little after … Continue reading Family Time at the Stone Zoo
In the fall, we love to go apple picking. In the summer, we’ve actually never done anything (in terms of fruit picking). But since having Eleanor, we find ourselves wanting to experience more, if nothing more than to get her involved in outdoor activities. This weekend was beautiful and after a quick search, I found … Continue reading Strawberry Muffins
