So we arrived at the falls at 11:01 and if you know you know:) After having a lovely breakfast out......I think having breakfast out may be one of my favorite treasures in this life.....anytime I do it at home, like a full service breakfast, I am in shock and awe over the mess of pots and pans:) Having it out eliminates that;-) We woke up early in the cabin but had slept well......we braved the shower, and by braving it, that is an understatement lol:). I was not fully prepared but we made our way....got packed up then had our breakfast and set off......and again the beauty was breathtaking....both of the hikes were pretty easy.....not too challenging on us, but the visual payoff was anything but ordinary......I am sure that in the spring after rain, or in the winter that place is just magnificent......I may need to check it out:) Mads was excited because we could hop off the trail and walk next to the water on the rocks......and explore in different parts.....she truly loves hiking......and has forged a deep appreciation and love of the woods.....I hope she keeps it all of her life:) We met lovely people at the falls a group of sisters....they took our picture and we took their picture.....and then we came home......I got unpacked and settled in......and we just relaxed for a few hours and hit the hay early.....and it was bliss.....and it felt just like I had stolen a weekend away with a love......like those rare but great weekend getaways once upon a time would feel......and it was just what I had needed.....the last two months have been intense......and lots of logistics and juggling and having the opportunity to pour into my soul helped so much......I was also proud of tackling this alone, it was challenging for me......a little scary and I am so glad I pushed past my fear......and doing it within my budget.....and truth is in my old life I could have afforded a great place, maybe on a lake......and it would have been gorgeous......but in this life that cabin is something we will never forget, and offered such a unique experience for us all.....and truly was perfect.......so just like my magical September beach day annual trip......I think I may add this to October's docket and check out hiking upstate each year! We definitely could have squeezed in a few more places had I known more.....so for next time now I know:) I feel blessed and rejuvenated and looking forward to our next adventure:)
