I love Hiking!! By the end of this page, you’ll realize why this was one of my favorite days since I moved to Syracuse.<\/p>\n

It’s just under 2 hours away. A very scenic route. A very beautiful Sunday.<\/p>\n

Old Forge is also a sweet, small town. Before embarking on the hike, we stopped by for breakfast. I got belgian waffle, which is one of my grandma’s favorite! So crispy… so chewy… with lots of syrup! ; )<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The trail we took starts off flat, but FULL of slender trees with bountiful layers of leaves.<\/p>\n

Such a pretty canopy, so good to be back.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It got steep pretty quickly though. Met a new furry friend.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Steep rocks are no challenge for these trees! Check out the roots!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Met a cool friend.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I’m not sure if this next picture shows just how steep and ginormous the rocks are. Careful footing is necessary if you want to move through quickly, otherwise, it makes for a good time!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Every now and then you come out to an opening to check out the view of the lakes!!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Big leap!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Destination in view!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Wearing the shirt from New Years in Barcelona ^.^<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

View from the top (only 4 people allowed in the top at a time!) It was very wobbly.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The view is gorgeous. I could have stayed up there for hours.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Some fun commentary.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Windswept trees ; )<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Descending…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Shadows<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Had a picnic in the grasses at the top of the mountain.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

One last look before heading back into town..<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So then, Brett took me into this old theater, and into this hall<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I think I just stared with my mouth open because I was so surprise, and so HAPPY!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I LOVE cameras. I love film. I love projectors, reels, digital or film, of all mm sizes. I geeked out so hard.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Danggg!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Quite a few old movie projectors!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Interchangeable lenses ; )<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Some wine tasting : )<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Some store browsing : )<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

haha… chunky dunk!!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A candy store!!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Exit fullscreen<\/a><\/div>\n

Got to try my first sponge candy! Dark chocolate, of course!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We had to head back a little earlier to make a group meeting for school, but it was an incredible day filled with all the things that I love to do.<\/p>\n

Hiking. Picnicking. Photographing. Wine tasting. Exploring. Shopping. Laughing. Candy eating. Wind-in-the-hair-driving-with-great-music-playing. Singing. Waffle eating.<\/p>\n

What a day. What a day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
