We're alive we promise. School has taken over and our free time is spent trying to fit runs in and making time for friends, etc. Enough for excuses, blogging will be coming back full force. The past month that I have not been blogging, I have already noticed a depletion in health. My addiction to mini Reeses has returned and it's killing me.
Anywho, Shelby and I were able to have spend some serious outdoor time with our good friends last weekend during Fall Break.
We left the planning to our good friend and Charlottesville native, Skylar:
In retrospect, that may not have been the best option considering his choice of eye wear. JUST KIDDING. Thank goodness for Skylar things went much smoother than would have happened if we had gone solo.
We trekked west to the Shenandoah Valley to Lake Sherando.
Shelby was pumped.
After setting up camp, we headed out on a 4 hour hike to Three Ridges. Eager to get to the finish, I found myself practically sprinting to the top. I managed to find some downtime with my girls on this here rock:
The hike was totally worth it. Can you believe these views? I napped mountain top until everyone dragged me back down the mountain.
And then the camera died...
Oh well. We went for a very quick swim in the Lake after the hike. We're talking REAL quick as the water was about 40 degrees. The rest of the night was spent huddled around the campfire. Skylar made me a gluten-free friendly camping meal of a burger topped on hashbrowns. Delicious.
Our attempts to make breakfast were short run, so we headed out to a Charlottesville staple the Tavern on the way back to UVa.
The camping trip was definitely a success. I loved it so much I went back out the next day to some natural water slides right outside Charlottesville. Look for a post about that to come. Miss you all and be sure to stay tuned to more posts in the future!
